About our products - 

Q. I'm not sure which option to go for - shrimp, soya, bugs?

A. All my options are there purely for your pet's preference. My first recommendation is usually to go for shrimp since it is the more natural protein option. However, some hamsters - especially Syrians can be fussy when it comes to shrimp/bugs which is why we also offer a soya option. If your hamster doesn't like mealworms then they are unlikely to like shrimp so a soya option may be best.

Q. Do you offer any further customisation?

A. Everything is mixed to order, so I am able to leave out ingredients when necessary please contact us at sales@bearshamsters.com for more information.

Q. How much should I feed my pet?

A. For a Syrian around a tablespoon a day. For a dwarf hamster or a mouse around a teaspoon per day. These are only average amounts and will alter slightly from pet to pet. 

Q. Why should I freeze the food on arrival?

A. I recommend freezing any pet food that contains whole grains for a minimum of 24 hours. This is to alleviate the risk of weevils - these are harmless but unsightly and can be difficult to get rid of once they've hatched.
