What are the eating habits of a hamster?
Hamsters eat consistently and when they have ingested enough they tend to chew up more food to store in their cheeks for later, this conserves energy while in rest mode, its an animal function which is actually quite common.
How do you care for a hamster that isn't eating?
Offer the hamster soggy bread. This is made by soaking it under the tap and squeezing out the excess moisture. Make sure you offer it to the hamster in small pieces. If the hamster wants to eat the moisture content will help make it easier to eat and help rehydrate your pet.Recovery liquid feed is also worth considering, I have used this to save degus, a chinchilla and help a few rabbits through Gi stasis. I have kept rodents and rabbits for many years and have qualifications in animal health ,care and behaviour.

Would he drink the water, dangerous as it may be.Would he eat the mouldy cheese?Now imagine that person is a hamster.And that hamster,Is you.
My hamster is only eating his vegetables and things that I give to him on the side yet, he won't eat his seed mix. He wasn't like that before. What should I do?
Try different kinds of seed packs. Maybe he doesn’t like the one you’re giving him. His taste changed and maybe he wants some variety.There are also hamster seed blocks which lets your hamster bite to get their seeds. The hamster gets to chew, which is a basic need for them and keeps their teeth trim, and they get some yummy seeds. Also have you tried hiding his seed from him? I found that if a hamster has to search for it they like it more.
