Oxbow, Mazuri and Kaytee all make excellent rat chow. Being omnivorous, they can eat almost anything. They should eat mainly a pelleted or block diet supplemented with fresh fruits, greens and vegetables.

Yes, there is. I would recommend Oxbow Critical Care for Herbivores: http://www.oxbowanimalhealth.com/vets/products/critical_care There are good instructions on the label on how much to feed and how to mix it up. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you and Geri.

Feeding: Feed according to the instructions on the bag of food you are using. It also depends on the hamsters age. I would recommend you use a high quality diet like Oxbow. Remember, they are very small and don't need to eat much. ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/oxbow-15-oz-oat-hay ) Treats: Once a week you can consider giving your hamster a treat by providing some a small amount of boiled egg or some fruits/veggies. Many hamsters like cauliflower, broccoli, pear, peach and banana. Always remember to remove any uneaten food from your hamster’s cage so that it doesn’t rot. You can also feed commercial treats in place of the above: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/oxbow-timothy-club-bungalow-medium ) Exercise: If you put him the hamster ball it is recommended that you not leave him in there more than 20 minutes per day. Handling: I suggest you refer to this page for ideas on how to get your hamster used to you: ( http://thehamsterhouse.com/
