The best feed for hamsters

Hamsters, like people, have individual eating habits, so this or that food may like them to varying degrees. However, the general recommendations are the same for all animals: the diet should be nutritious, balanced, enriched with vitamins and minerals. The content of artificial additives, dyes, as well as honey in feed is not welcome.

Vitakraft Emotion Beauty

Rating: 4.9

German quality and perfect balance of components allowed Vitakraft Emotion Beauty feed to occupy the first position in the rating. Emotion Beauty is the best product for hamsters in the Vitakraft line and contains, in addition to proteins, carbohydrates, vegetable fats and minerals, additional complexes for beauty and health of a hamster, including omega-6 fatty acids. Due to this composition, the food makes the hamster coat smooth and silky, strengthens the teeth, increases resistance to diseases. The favorable effect of the feed is also confirmed by the feedback from customers. And the release form - multi-colored granules - solves the problem of selective eating, in which hamsters choose only the most delicious and as a result do not receive all the nutritional elements from the feed.

CLIFFI Ferdi Fruity SELECTION

Rating: 4.8

Italian brand Cliffi has not yet managed to gain fame among Russian hamsters, but definitely deserves attention. Ferdi Fruity SELECTION contains fruits, nuts and carrots - the ingredients that hamsters eat in their natural habitat. Food is enriched with vitamins and minerals, prebiotics and antioxidants. The highlight of the composition is an exclusive energy complex, which will allow the hamster to maintain not only good health, but also natural activity, curiosity and zest for life.

Buyers note that the food is fully consistent with the image on the package and is very popular with pets, and a convenient, resealable bag makes storage easier.

Fiory criceti

Rating: 4.7

A reasonable ratio of price and quality displays this feed in third place.Fiory Criceti includes a variety of seeds, as well as peas, cornflakes, peanuts, carob fruits and puffed rice. All ingredients are natural and contain many nutrients, vitamins, micro-and macronutrients. In addition to the gifts of nature, the mixture contains special granules containing omega-3 fatty acids and minerals in an optimal form for assimilation, including selenium, which is useful for immunity and health of the hamster as a whole. A special feature of the feed is vacuum packaging, which for a long time preserves the freshness and pleasant smell of the mixture.

Benelux Special hamster 2/1 complete mix and dessert

Rating: 4.6

This product immediately attracts attention with an incredibly extensive composition. What is there is no: various cereals, peas and corn, carrots, bananas, carob and even dried meal worms that serve as a source of protein. A distinctive feature of the feed - whole ears of millet and wheat, which look very tempting and contain, of course, real grains, but, according to customer reviews, they crumble and can injure the tender cheeks of domestic hamsters. A serious shortcoming is that with all its diversity the composition is not fully indicated on the packaging. However, experienced hamsters claim that their pets enjoy eating this food and feel great.

JR FARM Classic

Rating: 4.5

JR FARM Classic food has been praised by many for the fact that, with an ideal balance of healthy and nutritious substances, it is devoid of sugar, honey and artificial additives that are often found in food to improve taste. This food is most similar to the natural food hamsters - cereals, seeds, dry vegetables. In addition, much attention is paid to the protein component of the diet: chicken, beef, shrimp, cheese, fish - and all this in the form of granules, from which the pet will not choose only delicious.

Padovan grandmix criceti

Rating: 4.5

Another Italian food, which is based on cereals, supplemented by sunflower seeds, peanuts, dried fruits and vegetables. In the feed there are vitamin-enriched cornflakes. In general, this mixture contains almost all the components for proper nutrition of the hamster, with the exception of proteins. However, many owners point out that their pets eat Padovan food extremely selectively, so its low price does not always justify itself. Another disadvantage is the presence of dyes.

The best feed for dwarf hamsters

The content of dwarf hamsters - for example, dzhungarikov, Roborovsky or Campbell - has its own nuances. These animals are prone to diabetes, so they are contraindicated for excessive carbohydrates, honey. Large grains and granules are also undesirable, as they can damage the kid's cheek pouches.

Versele-Laga Mini Hamster Nature

Rating: 4.9

The food of the Belgian manufacturer Versele-Laga is recognized by experts as the most optimal for dwarf hamsters. Like most feed, it consists mainly of grains and seeds, all of which are quite small and do not pose a danger to the animal. In the mix you will find various dried fruits and vegetables: apple, grapes, carrots and others. Vitamins and minerals are also present in the right quantities. This feed has a high energy value, you need to give it to your pet in small portions so as not to provoke a sharp weight gain. Some buyers recommend choosing a portion of the dried fruit from the feed and giving it out to the hamster from time to time as a treat.
