Dietary Requirements of Hamsters After Giving Birth
Hamsters need highly nutritious food to regain their strength and nurse their young after giving birth. High-quality hamster food, grains such as rice and mung beans, and seeds like corn, millet, and wheat are all relatively healthy choices. In addition, appropriately providing seasonal fruits and vegetables can ensure a balanced diet, such as carrots, chicken breast, shrimp, and broccoli.
Precautions and Forbidden Foods
Don't feed foods that are high in sugar and salt, such as citrus fruits, lemons, pineapples which are high in fruit acids, pungent foods like ginger, scallions, and garlic, canned vegetables, and high-salt fruits.
Avoid feeding milk, as hamsters may not be able to digest it, leading to metabolic disorders.
Don't feed unripe tomatoes and spinach, as they contain relatively high amounts of oxalic acid and solanine, which may cause health problems.
Avoid feeding tropical fruits and avocados, as these foods may cause diarrhea.
