11 Customer Questions
So I feed this to my hamster and every time i check his food bowl, the pellets are dust. Is that normal? I know he eats it but then after all I see is this bunch of green stuff
Answer by • May 18, 2018
Since this food is made with natural ingredients, the consistency of the pellets may vary. This food is made with ingredients such as oats, grains and hay making the pellets soft and easy to crumble. Hamsters are known to hoard and hide their food, particularly females or those housed with other hamsters. Be sure to check for stockpiles of food and adjust daily rations as required.
Is the Canola Meal and Canola Oil genetically modified?
Answer by • Oct 02, 2019
The canola meal and canola oil used in this hamster and gerbil food is non-GMO, however, not all of the ingredients in this recipe are certified non-GMO.
How many cups per bag?
Answer by • May 04, 2023
This package is filled based on weight, due to this and the slight variations in pellet size the amount of product in cups may vary a bit but generally it will be between approximately 3-4 cups.
