Why choose Little One Hamster Food?

Syrian hamsters are active, solitary animals that enjoy collecting, hoarding, and eating in various places in their enclosure. A varied mix suits this well, as your hamster not only receives food but also has something to explore.

Little One Hamster Food contains, among other things, wheat, red millet, white sorghum, barley, multigrain pellets, hulled oats, sunflower seeds, barley flakes, corn flakes, buckwheat, carob, pea flakes, puffed wheat, puffed corn, puffed barley, peanuts, sweet lupine flakes, dried carrots, and pumpkin seeds. This creates a mix with a wide variety of aromas, flavors, and textures.

Because this food contains no added animal protein, you can specifically offer animal protein yourself as a snack. Consider, for example, dried mealworms, crickets, soldier fly larvae, or a suitable insect mix. You can easily order these along with your food via our category of animal protein for rodents .

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Hamster: suitable as a complete daily diet for Syrian hamsters and golden hamsters. Adjust the portion according to size, activity level, age, and what your hamster hoards or leaves behind.

This food has been developed for Syrian hamsters/golden hamsters. For dwarf hamsters, it is preferable to choose a specific dwarf hamster food with finer ingredients and a composition that is better suited to small dwarf hamsters. For mice, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, it is preferable to choose a food that is specifically formulated for that animal species.

Why supplement animal protein separately?

Little One Hamster Food contains no added animal protein. This is convenient if you want to consciously control which proteins you provide and how often. Hamsters can benefit greatly from animal protein as part of a varied diet, for example via a small portion of insect mix, mealworms, crickets, or other suitable insect snacks.

By offering animal proteins separately, you keep a close eye on the quantity. Moreover, you can use it as a foraging moment, for example by hiding a few insects in a snack mat, digging box, or among natural materials.

Feeding & use

Mealberry recommends approximately 10–20 grams of Little One Hamster Food per hamster per day, depending on the size of your hamster. For many Syrian hamsters, about 15 grams per day is a practical middle ground, but always observe your own animal, its body condition, activity level, and how much is being hoarded.

• Give as a daily staple food for Syrian hamsters and golden hamsters.
• As a guideline, calculate with approximately 10–20 grams per hamster per day.
• Preferably only refill when most parts have been eaten.
• Use a portion in the feeder and a small portion as scatter feed.
• Scatter only in a clean, dry spot or in a foraging zone.
• Supplement appropriate animal proteins separately, up to twice a week according to Mealberry.
• Combine with a well-equipped hamster enclosure with deep bedding, a sand bath, hiding places, tunnels, nesting material, and foraging opportunities.
• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.
