Choosing the right hay for your hamsters
Hay is perfect to include in Hamsters’ diets; it allows for stimulation and making sure those little gnashers don’t get too long! Though hamsters do not require much hay in their diet, the fibre is very good for their digestive tracts and is great for maintaining healthy teeth. For fussy hamsters, Timothy hay and Alfalfa (recommended for babies or hamsters that need a boost in energy) are tasty favourites to gnaw on. Hamsters love to burrow into hay, as they would if they were out in the wild.

Fact 1
Did you know hamsters’ teeth continuously grow throughout their lives? It’s important to include stalky hay in their diet to help keep those chompers in check.
Fact 2
Did you know hamsters require a lot of protein in their diet as they are naturally omnivores? Therefore, hay packed full of protein is perfect for your furry friend.
Fact 3
Did you know there is no maximum quantity hamsters should eat per day? They are grazers by nature and will hoard food in their mouths to store for later.
