FEEDING GUIDELINES:

Young (under six months) or Pregnant/Nursing Small Hamster or Gerbil/Large Hamster: Unlimited

Adult (over six months) Small hamster: 1/8 cup

Adult (over six months) Gerbil/Larger Hamster: 1/3 cup

*Please note that these are guidelines. If your hamster or gerbil is overweight or underweight, please contact your veterinarian or Oxbow Animal Health® for more specific feeding information.

NOTE: hamsters are know to hoard and hide their food, particularly females of those housed with other hamsters. Be sure to check for stockpiles of food and adjust daily rations as required.

While hamsters and gerbils do not require hay as a staple in their diet, be sure to offer them free choice hay to burrow and hide in.

Transitioning Foods: Week one, mix ¼ new food with ¾ current food. Week Two, mix ½ new food with ½ current food. Week Three, mix ¾ new food with ¼ current food. By Week Four, you can feed Oxbow Essentials Hamster and Gerbil Food exclusively to your pet.

When introducing a new food or treat, it's best to allow your pet to adjust gradually. For new food, we recommend a 7-day transition. Begin with a 75:25 ratio of old to new food on Day 1 and Day 2, shifting to a 50:50 mix on Day 3 and Day 4, and a 25:75 balance on Day 5 and Day 6. By Day 7, your pet can fully enjoy their new food. For treats, remember to feed them sparingly — they should constitute no more than 10% of your pet's daily caloric intake. Monitor your pet for any unusual reactions when introducing a new treat. Treats are not a substitute for balanced, complete meals.
