Hamsters can eat corn, which is rich in vitamins and minerals and can supplement the body's need for this substance. But don’t eat too much, as eating too much may cause indigestion, soft bowel movements, constipation, etc.

It is best to feed hamsters raw corn, as cooked corn is slimy and can cause hamsters to suffer from buccal pouchitis and may cause damage to their teeth. If the raw corn is too hard for the hamster to bite, you can soften the raw corn kernels with water before feeding it, which will make it easier for the hamster to eat.

Precautions for hamsters eating corn

1. Hamsters should eat corn without any seasonings. Corn kernels with various seasonings and additives will increase the gastrointestinal burden of hamsters.

2. Hamsters cannot be regarded as staple food. They can be eaten in combination with hamster-specific feed.

3. Hamsters should not eat too much corn. Eating too much may cause indigestion, soft intestinal movement, constipation, etc.
