Hamsters also eat during the day, but they mainly feed when they are active at night. Hamsters are nocturnal animals. Most of the time during the day, they hide in their nests to rest, and they become active at night, starting to forage and move around. Although they do eat during the day, it is usually most appropriate to feed them when they wake up and start to be active in the evening.
The eating habits of hamsters include grains, seeds, vegetables, fruits, and so on. They will also store food in their cheek pouches and carry it to a safe place for storage. Hamsters have a relatively large appetite and they almost keep eating, which is one of the reasons why they are easy to take care of. In addition, the leftover food of hamsters needs to be cleaned up regularly to prevent bacteria from breeding due to the food being left for too long.
In order to interact better with hamsters, owners can feed them in the evening. In this way, it can not only meet the dietary needs of hamsters but also enhance the bond with them. By communicating softly, feeding them correctly, and having regular interactions, a deeper connection can be established with hamsters.
