hi there..just bought a syrian yesterday..
she don't eat mealworm...
i put in..she scared the worm..
is it too fast to feed her mealworm?...btw..i think she just a few weeks old..since she is so small..

o... no no, you should not feed your hamster with meal worm. They need simple diet....

i thought feeding hamster with 3-4 mealworms a day is ok? some of the hamster owners here do that...

@cheesebet: i think your hamster needs time to know that the worm is edible, try to cut off the head of the worm, hopefully when your hamster can smell the 'juice', she will attempt to eat it... ganbatte ne!

Feeding hamster with sunflower seed, corn, nuts already make them cut to 1-2yrs live, if your still practise feeding them mealworm, cut their live even shorter.

sunflower seeds may be fattening....but i think eating those and mealworms don't cut thier lifespan shorter...if you don't mind me asking, can you please let us know where you came across the article of how did you know that feeding sunflower seeds and mealworms can shorten their lifespan?
thanks for sharing.

guys guess what i found 2 white faced robo!

You can try giving the Small Carnivore Food - it's pretty good. Are you feeding nutri-smoothie?

Sunflower seed diet is create by local ppl who simple mix up some business ideal to give food for hamster owner to buy for their hamster. Sunflower seed not only fattening, hamster dont have the ability to digest the fat that have in sunflower seed, in resulf, all kumpul in kidney, make is become kidnet falier and diet. 1 sunflower seed have 45% of fat, hasmter no need even 1% of fat per day. See how many sunflower seed your feed a day.

Secondly, CORN, corn will create bloat for hamster, and corn is very hard to digest and is bad thing, but is too cheap, that's why all thing your buy for hamster have the corn thing inside because is cheap and it sell to your with high price. After eating corn, hamster dont hv the ability like us, can fatt, they dont fatt. They suffer, we wont know.

NUTs is lagi high in fat.

Mealworm is high in protein source, it meant for bird, and other worm eating creature like sugar glider and hedgehog. Who teach your to feed mealworm? HAMSTER IS SUPER SUPER VEGETARIAN.

Please do not give wrong information if you do not know anything about hamsters. Please do your research first instead of answering for the sake of spamming.

As a pet store owner, I would have thought you would know better!

Hamsters are Omnivores and are NOT Herbivores (Vegetarian)

pls do your study before you trying to lead others. you are way too misleading.

IMHO, the above are all WRONG info.

thanks.

i have to disagree on what you've said...firstly hamsters are omnivors....secondly, i guess you're the first person i've ever seen telling that feeding mealworms,sunflower seeds and corns are bad for hamster's health...if a sensible amount is given to them, i can assure you that there will not be any negative effects on the hamster's health...if you think you've done research of what you should give hamsters and you know everything about hamster's diet then recheck on what you're selling...kaytee food products that you're selling is far more dangerous...

Hey Chinshillas,

All the information you given all are wrong! Please do not mislead people with your information.

If you can provide links to prove what you said is true then please by all means do so.

Just quoting from wikipedia~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamster

I do feed my syrian with carnivore food and ocassionaly mealies

I think this is just another classic example of a pet store owner not knowing much about the pets. They just want to sell their products without learning about the pet. On top of that, they give wrong information.


The most amazing part is that this is through the forum where he could have easily looked it up on the net before replying.
Can you imagine if you were asking him this question face to face? I think he lagi dunno how to answer. That is probably why he can only spam threads by commenting on people's pictures. He has nothing else to contribute but yet he wants to promote his store. Sad.... sad...

Hmm...can try uncle taro's nutri-smoothie, or if u're not giving them smoothie yet, u can give them fresh food, every morning and night
