Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster Food all-in-one pellets

Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster is a complete all-in-one pellet food for dwarf hamsters. The food consists of extruded dwarf hamster pellets with the same composition per pellet. As a result, your dwarf hamster cannot eat selectively as with a mixed diet, and the daily feeding bowl remains organized.

At DRD, when it comes to dwarf hamster food, we focus primarily on small portions, animal protein, energy, texture, and practical feeding reliability. Dwarf hamsters are omnivores and naturally eat not only plant-based components but also small sources of animal protein. Therefore, Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster contains, among other things, poultry, fish by-products, seeds, vegetables, FOS, MOS, omega 3, and omega 6.

✔ Every pellet has the same composition
✔ Helps limit picky eating and leftovers in the container
✔ With animal proteins, suitable for omnivorous dwarf hamsters
✔ With omega 3 and omega 6
✔ Practical for owners who like to keep track of small daily portions

Why choose Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster?

With mixed diets, dwarf hamsters can pick out exactly the parts they like best. This is natural behavior, but it can make it harder for you to see what is actually being eaten. With all-in-one pellets, every bite is the same, ensuring your dwarf hamster receives the same nutritional basis with every pellet.

The pellets are extruded and crunchy. This texture makes feeding time clear and easy to portion. Because the daily portion for dwarf hamsters is small, having a clear overview is especially helpful: you can see more quickly if any leftovers are being left and can calmly adjust the amount to suit your animal.

Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster contains animal protein sources in addition to plant-based ingredients. This suits dwarf hamsters well, as they are omnivores. The combination of grains, seeds, vegetables, animal ingredients, FOS, MOS, and omega fatty acids makes this pellet food complete as a daily basis.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Dwarf Hamster: suitable as a complete pellet food for dwarf hamsters, such as Russian dwarf hamsters, Roborovski dwarf hamsters, Campbell's dwarf hamsters, and Chinese dwarf hamsters. Feed the pellets as a small, weighed daily portion alongside appropriate enrichment, foraging opportunities, and clean drinking water.

This food is tailored to dwarf hamsters. For Syrian hamsters, it is preferable to choose a food specifically formulated for hamsters. For gerbils, mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, choose food that suits the specific nutritional needs of that species.

Feeding & use

Feed Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster as a complete pellet food for dwarf hamsters. The guideline is 5–10 grams per dwarf hamster per day. The correct amount depends on the species, size, age, activity, condition, and how much, if any, is being hoarded.

• Use 5–10 grams per dwarf hamster per day as a practical guideline.
• Preferably feed in the evening, when your dwarf hamster becomes more active.
• Check regularly whether food is being eaten or mainly hoarded.
• Optionally, hide part of the daily portion in the enclosure to encourage natural foraging behavior.
• Always introduce feed changes gradually by temporarily mixing old and new feed.
• Check appetite, weight, activity, and storage spots regularly.
• Store the food in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place.

A good daily routine is clear: a small, measured portion of pellets, clean drinking water, and sufficient opportunities to search, collect, and hoard. This way, the diet aligns better with the natural behavior of dwarf hamsters.

Daily portion guideline

Dwarf hamsters are solitary animals and should be kept alone. Therefore, we calculate the daily portion below per 1 dwarf hamster. Use the table as a starting point and then carefully observe body condition, activity, and how much is being stored.

This guideline is intended as a practical starting point. A dwarf hamster that hoards frequently does not always eat everything immediately. Therefore, also check the stash spots so that you can clearly see how much is actually being eaten.

This composition is designed as a complete all-in-one pellet food for dwarf hamsters. The combination of grains, seeds, vegetables, and plant-based by-products forms the energy-rich base, while poultry and fish by-products add animal proteins suitable for omnivorous dwarf hamsters. FOS and MOS contribute to supporting the intestinal flora. Yucca schidigera is often used due to its role in controlling stool odor. Echinacea, green tea extract, yeast, algae, and spirulina enrich the composition and help make the pellet food complete as an easily dosable daily base.

Switching to Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster. This allows your dwarf hamster to get used to the smell, taste, and texture of the pellets.

• Day 1–2: mix a small amount of new food with the old food.
• Days 3–5: feed approximately half old, half new.
• Days 6–7: mainly new food with a small amount of old food remaining.
• Then switch completely when your dwarf hamster continues to eat well and has normal droppings.

During the transition, pay close attention to appetite, activity, weight, and hoarding behavior. If you notice clear changes, build up more slowly or seek advice from a veterinarian knowledgeable about small rodents.

Good to know

Beaphar Care+ Dwarf Hamster is a complete pet food, but enrichment remains important. Dwarf hamsters naturally search for food, gather food, and hoard. Therefore, you can hide part of the daily portion in the bedding, in a treat roll, or in a safe foraging spot.

• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.
• Check storage areas regularly so that old food does not sit there for too long.
• Give extra snacks in moderation, so that the basic diet remains well-eaten.
• Combine with suitable bedding, nesting material, and foraging enrichment for a natural daily routine.
