Feeding your pet properly

You may think your pet is so small that doesn’t need much food. The truth is the opposite because it is little; it’s harder to pet a hamster right.

Pelleted Diets is a better choice because they can provide a balanced meal and comes in many shapes like biscuits, cookies, or cereal.

Seed and fruits are essential to your hamster. They are a picky pet, so feed them with a mix of grain or fruits like carrots, apples, or bananas.
