Things You'll Need
- Bottled drinking water
- Hamster food pellets
- Mealworm
- Cricket
- Fresh veggies
Instructions
Set out fresh bottled water for your Russian dwarf hamster each day. Your hamster only requires 5 ml of bottled water daily, but it is best to have slightly more than this available. Your hamster will not overdrink.
Choose a hamster food made of pellets that contains a minimum of 14 percent protein. Set out 5 to 7 g of these pellets each day for your Russian dwarf hamster to eat.
Give your Russian dwarf hamster a mealworm or a cricket. Choose only one day a week to do this. This is an excellent treat for your pet, but it is not good for your pet to eat it on a daily basis.
Give your Russian dwarf hamster 2 oz. of fresh veggies. Again, you only want to offer this treat once per week. Too many fresh veggies can cause diarrhea in hamsters.
