Why choose all-in-one food?

With mixed food, hamsters and gerbils may sometimes pick the tastiest pieces out of the food bowl first. The rest is then left behind, making it harder to properly assess what your animal is actually consuming. With all-in-one pellets, this is clearer, because every pellet has the same composition.

That makes Complete Hamster & Gerbil particularly convenient when your pet is a picky eater or when you prefer peace and clarity in the food bowl. You can more easily stick to a fixed daily portion and see more quickly whether the food is being consumed properly.

An all-in-one kibble offers less natural variety for picking than a mixed seed mix, but that is precisely the advantage here: your animal cannot choose only the richest or tastiest parts. Do you still want more activity around feeding? Then use part of the daily portion to hide or scatter in the enclosure.

With chicken, flaxseed and salmon oil

Hamsters and gerbils are not purely herbivores. Animal proteins can play an appropriate role in their diet. Complete Hamster & Gerbil contains chicken as a high-quality animal protein source, as well as egg and egg products in its composition.

Flaxseed and salmon oil add fatty acids to the recipe. The food also contains peas, apple, FOS, marigold, yucca, rosemary, and green tea. This creates a complete kibble with a fixed composition, preventing your animal from selecting individual components.

For which animals is Complete Hamster & Gerbil suitable?

• Dwarf hamster: suitable as an all-in-one pellet food when you want to limit selective eating. For small dwarf hamsters, always pay attention to acceptance, pellet size, and daily intake.
• Hamster: suitable as a complete daily diet for hamsters, such as Syrian hamsters/golden hamsters. The pellets are practical when you like to keep track of what your hamster is actually eating.
• Gerbil: suitable as a complete daily diet for gerbils. Gerbils can be selective eaters; an all-in-one kibble helps keep the food bowl clearer.

Are you looking for food for mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, or degus? Then it is better to choose a food that suits that animal species and their daily eating pattern.

Feeding & use

The correct amount depends on the species, age, activity level, condition, and how much your animal hoards or hides. As a practical guideline, you can assume approximately 15 grams per hamster or gerbil per day. Additionally, pay close attention to body condition, appetite, and what is being stored in the enclosure.

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for a few days and gradually increase the proportion of Complete Hamster & Gerbil. This allows your animal to get used to the smell, taste, and texture of the pellets.

Because hamsters and gerbils can move or store food, it is useful to check their stash spots regularly. This way, you have a better idea whether the daily portion is actually being eaten or is mainly being taken to a hiding place.

Foraging with all-in-one kibble

Complete Hamster & Gerbil offers less variety in loose pieces than a mixed seed mix, but you can use the pellets perfectly well for foraging behavior. For example, hide part of the daily portion in a foraging dish, among bedding, or near safe parts of the enclosure.

For hamsters, you can scatter a few pellets in a dry foraging area or near tunnels and hiding places. For gerbils, you can offer the pellets in multiple locations so they have to search and gather. Preferably use a portion of the normal daily ration for this, so you do not unknowingly feed them extra.

Save

Store the kibble in a cool, dry, and dark place. Close the packaging tightly after use to preserve the aroma, taste, and texture as much as possible. Preferably use a sealable storage container if the bag has been open for a longer period.

Choose the packaging that suits the number of animals. The 500-gram package is convenient for trying it out or for a single animal. The 2 kg package is more practical if you have multiple gerbils or use this food daily.

Good to know

Complete Hamster & Gerbil is an all-in-one pellet food. This means you see less loose variation in the food bowl, but instead gain more clarity regarding intake. For animals that prefer to pick only their favorite pieces, this can be very pleasant.

Do you want to encourage more natural foraging behavior? Then combine the food with deep bedding, nesting material, a sand bath, tunnels, gnawing material, and foraging opportunities. You can also hide part of the normal daily portion so that your animal has to search more.

For fat-tailed gerbils, extra attention to animal protein is important. Use this food as a base and supplement specifically with suitable dried insects, such as mealworms, crickets, or other insect snacks.
