Balanced Nutrition for Vitality
Oxbow Essentials Hamster & Gerbil food is meticulously formulated to offer your beloved small pets the essential vitamins and minerals they need. This well-balanced diet ensures that your furry friends receive 100% of their daily recommended nutrients. It's an ideal choice for those who want to provide their hamsters and gerbils with the best nutrition possible.
No Artificial Additives
One of the standout features of Oxbow Essentials Hamster & Gerbil food is its commitment to purity. There are no artificial preservatives, colours, or flavours in this food. It's all-natural, ensuring that your pets enjoy a diet free from any potentially harmful additives.
Energy for an Active Life
Small pets like hamsters and gerbils are known for their lively nature. Oxbow recognizes this and provides your pets with three sources of high-energy grains in their food. This helps keep your pets active and full of vitality, supporting their busy lifestyles.
Whole Body Health Support
The Oxbow team understands the importance of maintaining your pet's overall health. That's why they include antioxidants and prebiotics in the food. These elements help support your pet's whole body health, ensuring they remain in the best possible condition.
Expert Guidance
Oxbow Essentials Hamster & Gerbil food is formulated with the guidance of top veterinarians and nutritionists. This means you can trust that your pets are receiving a diet that's been carefully crafted to meet their specific needs.
Feeding Guidelines
For young or pregnant/nursing small hamsters or large hamsters, the food is unlimited. For adult small hamsters, serve 1/8 cup, and for adult gerbils or large hamsters, provide 1/3 cup. These guidelines can be adjusted based on your pet's specific needs, but it's always a good idea to consult with a veterinarian for personalised advice.
Hay for Burrowing and Hiding
While hamsters and gerbils don't need hay as a staple in their diet, offering them free-choice hay to burrow and hide in can be a delightful addition to their habitat.
Transitioning to Oxbow
If you're switching your pet's food, follow a gradual transition over four weeks to avoid digestive issues. Start with ¼ new food and ¾ current food in the first week, gradually increasing the amount of Oxbow Essentials Hamster & Gerbil food until it's the exclusive choice by week four.
