This Tip Maintaining Hamster - Here are some common mistakes made by beginners hamster owner:
1. Feeding of vegetables, carrots or fresh corn as the main food menu. Believe me this will only hurt you! Digestion hamsters are not designed to digest foods that contain high humidity like this.

If the answer is yes, it means that your hamster have a problem on the system urine / urine. This resulted from the provision of fresh vegetables that you give every day! Try changing your hamster food menu with a more appropriate ie dry hamster food you can find in pet shops or in supermarkets. In Indonesia, available several brands such as: Ultra-Blend, XtraVital, Vitakraft, Hamsfood, Hagen, Minimal Goods, Hartz, Nutriblocks, and much more. You just select them in accordance with the finances and the needs of your hamster.
2. Additional purchase of sunflower seeds or watermelon seeds as food additives. "My hamster is very fond of sunflower seeds and watermelon seeds, besides they did not eat anything else." Believe me, this is just a habit that you or a previous owner planted for your hamster! Maybe you do not know if you love this act actually even kill your hamster.

That's much better ... Besides feeding is also not showing the benefits of an impressive but routine feeding this much trouble you instead.
4. Providing a snack too much. Snack should be given only once a week, if too often ... you definitely have to buy food hamsters loss because it does not consume the maximum. Just like small children who were given a choice between vegetables and his favorite cake, hamsters would prefer his favorite snack.
