People's opinions about other unsafe food is causing their tails wet cucumber and citrus fruits. In the second opinion, there are things wrong. Cucumber has very little nutrition and can cause liver problems, and some hamsters do not like the taste of citrus fruit, but citrus is safe to give to hamsters. Affected by diabetes hamsters are not allowed to have foods that contain high sugar levels, such as fruit and corn. Hamster food component is divided into three categories: dry, fresh, and food animals.If we want to keep the hamster, the safest thing is to provide a meal of fresh seeds. In Indonesia there are some households who make the effort hamster food from the grain. Choose cereals that are not preserved but are free from fleas and dyes. For security reasons, you should not leave food in the form of leaves of fresh and instant food. Several types of fresh leaves may not be harmful to the hamster, but most of the foliage was contaminated pesticides. Although few, hamsters susceptible to pesticides. Instant food is not good because it was given to hamsters usually contain preservatives. Salt-containing foods can cause fur loss in hamsters.
