Pay attention to three points when feeding hamsters to eat cooked corn

First of all, when feeding cooked corn to hamsters, be sure to wait for the cooked corn to cool before feeding, otherwise it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort to the hamster.

Secondly, the amount of cooked corn fed to the hamster should not be too much. Generally speaking, about two grains are appropriate, and they should be broken into one grain and fed one by one. If fed too much, the hamster will suffer from indigestion.

The third cooked corn is more prone to spoilage. So eat the corn immediately after the little hamster, so as not to hide the leftovers and put them in the cheek pouch.

There is nothing wrong with feeding a hamster with cooked corn in moderation and it will not endanger the life of the hamster, but it must be in moderation.

It is better to use professional rat food for feeding hamsters. You can also feed homemade rat food, including mealworms, melon seeds, broccoli, and mung beans. Long-term feeding of homemade rat chow is not recommended. Because professional rat food is more nutritious, the ratio is more scientific, and it is more conducive to the survival of hamsters.
