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.
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.
How many calories are in a serving for a hamster
Answer by • Nov 13, 2017
There are 210 calories per cup of this formula. Since it's recommended to give a hamster 1/8 cup, there would be 26.25 calories for a serving.
