Teddy bear hamsters are omnivorous rodents, and their diet should primarily consist of high-quality commercial hamster food. Grass is not a natural part of their diet and can cause digestive issues such as diarrhea and bloating. Additionally, grass can contain pesticides and other chemicals harmful to hamsters.
Teddy bear hamsters should be fed a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods such as:
- Hamster pellets
- Fresh vegetables (e.g., carrots, broccoli, and spinach)
- Fresh fruits (e.g., apples, bananas, and berries)
- Seeds
- Nuts
- Insects (e.g., mealworms and crickets)
It is crucial to provide your teddy bear hamster with a clean and fresh water source at all times.
As a pet owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that your teddy bear hamster receives a proper diet to maintain its health and well-being. Consult a veterinarian if you have any questions about your hamster's diet or overall care.
