Are you supposed to feed a teddy bear hamster everyday?

Teddy bear hamsters, like all hamsters, should not be fed every day. They are nocturnal creatures and their metabolism slows down significantly during the day.

Here's a breakdown of the proper feeding schedule:

* Food: Offer a small amount of hamster food (around 1-2 tablespoons) every other day.

* Treats: Offer a small treat (like a sunflower seed, pumpkin seed, or a small piece of fruit) once or twice a week.

* Fresh Water: Make sure fresh water is available every day.

Important considerations:

* Overfeeding: Too much food can lead to obesity and health problems in hamsters.

* Variety: Provide a variety of foods in your hamster's diet to ensure they get all the nutrients they need.

* Fresh food: Offer small amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables as treats, but monitor for any digestive issues.

Remember, it's always best to consult with a veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations for your teddy bear hamster based on its age, size, and activity level.
