Eight varieties of millet for optimal nutrition

The basis of the dwarf hamster special is a versatile millet mix of eight different types of millet. Plata Millet, Japanese Millet, Senegal Millet, Yellow Millet, Black Millet, Red Millet, Mohair Millet and Mannahir as well as Teff Dwarf Yarse offer an extraordinary variety of nutrients, textures and flavors.

Millet is particularly rich in B vitamins, iron, magnesium and silica. The different types of millet differ in size, color and nutrient profile, which provides variety in the food bowl. Teff-Zwergherse is particularly small and ideal for the dainty paws of dwarf hamsters. The diversity stimulates natural selection behavior and ensures that your dwarf hamsters stay busy.

Piston millet in pieces is a special highlight of the mixture. Dwarf hamsters love to nibble the small grains from the cob - this corresponds to their natural feeding behavior and offers valuable occupation. Piston millet can also be kept between the fingers as a healthy treat or hidden in the aviary to make the food hunt more exciting.

Animal proteins – mealworms and gammarus

Dwarf hamsters are omnivores and need animal proteins for their health. In nature, they eat insects, larvae and other small invertebrates. The dwarf hamster special contains mealworms and gammarus (cray flea crabs) as high-quality animal protein sources.

Mealworms are particularly popular with dwarf hamsters and provide high-quality protein as well as important amino acids. They support muscle building, coat health and general vitality. Gammarus are small dried crustaceans that are also rich in protein and additionally provide chitin, which supports digestion. Both insect species are instinctively sought by dwarf hamsters and eaten with enthusiasm.

The animal proteins are especially important for pregnant or latating hamster females, young animals in growth and during the moulting period. They ensure a balanced diet and prevent protein deficiency symptoms.

Wild herbs for vitamins and minerals

The Dwarf Hamster Special contains a selection of valuable wild herbs that are rich in vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances. Nettle provides iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamins A, C and K. Nettle has a metabolic stimulating effect and supports general health.

Dandelion contains bitter substances that promote digestion, as well as vitamin A, C and K, calcium and potassium. Shepherd's pouch herb is rich in flavonoids, proteins, amino acids and vitamins.

Vogelmiere is a delicate wild herb that is particularly rich in vitamins and is often eaten by dwarf hamsters. The combination of these wild herbs provides your hamsters with important nutrients and supports the immune system in a natural way.

Versatile seeds and vegetables

In addition to millet, the dwarf hamster special contains other valuable seeds. Milk thistle seeds provide liver-protecting silymarin and healthy fats.Kardi (dye thistle) is a protein-rich seed with valuable oil. Milo and Dari are sorghum millet that provide minerals and energy.

Amaranth is a pseudo-grain with all essential amino acids, rich in iron, magnesium and calcium. The tiny seeds are ideal for dwarf hamsters. Rosehip seeds are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Spinach seeds provide additional minerals and vitamins.

Cucumber slices (dried) offer a light, water-rich vegetable component that is eaten by many dwarf hamsters. They provide vitamins and minerals in concentrated form. The various seeds and vegetables provide a variety of taste and nutritional physiology.

Grasses and flowers for natural nutrition

Meadow grass and grass are important components of the mixture. Grass seeds are rich in fiber, provide complex carbohydrates and correspond to the natural food spectrum of hamsters. They support digestion and dental health.

The contained flowers such as chamomile flowers, sunflower petals and cornflower flowers are not only visually appealing, but also valuable to health. Chamomile flowers have a calming and anti-inflammatory effect. Sunflower flowers and cornflowers provide secondary plant substances and are often sorted and eaten by dwarf hamsters. These natural flowers enrich the feed mixture and promote natural feeding behavior.

Species-appropriate feeding and employment

The dwarf hamster special offers not only optimal nutrition, but also valuable occupation. The versatile composition encourages gathering, sorting and bunkering - behaviors that are natural and important for hamsters. You can also scatter the food in the litter or offer it in hiding places to make the food search more exciting.

Dwarf hamsters have a very different metabolism compared to golden hamsters. They are more susceptible to diabetes and need a low-sugar and low-fat diet. The dwarf hamster special is specially tailored to these needs and dispenses with sugar-rich components. The mixture is natural and untreated, without artificial additives, dyes or preservatives.

Supplements for complete nutrition

The dwarf hamster special covers the basic needs of your dwarf hamsters as the main food. Complement the feeding with fresh vegetables such as cucumber, peppers, carrots or salad in small quantities. Fresh water should always be available. Occasionally you can also offer fresh herbs or germ food to further enrich the diet.
