Newborn hamsters eat breast milk. The hamster mother can start feeding the hamster breast milk after giving birth. Breast milk can help the hamster increase its body immunity and reduce the probability of illness. Breast milk is rich in nutrients and can help hamsters grow healthily. If breast milk is not available, goat milk powder can be substituted.

Food for hamsters after weaning

1. Cereal foods: chicken feed, bird feed, wheat, corn, millet, raw rice, etc. However, breeders must feed less to avoid symptoms such as flatulence in hamsters.

2. Seed foods: sunflower seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, etc. These foods can speed up the physical development of hamsters and increase their metabolic rate. However, the breeder must control the hamster's intake of such food to prevent the hamster from becoming too obese and causing illness.

3. Feed: Hamsters have special pet feed. Breeders can choose suitable pet feed for feeding. The feed contains most of the nutrients needed by the hamster's body and is very suitable as a staple food.
