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.
