Oxbow Essentials Hamster and Gerbil Food - 15 lb.

Oxbow Animal Health's purpose is to help people and pets live happy, healthy lives. For over 30 years, we have collaborated with top veterinarians and nutritionists to create nutrition and care products tailored to the specific needs of rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice at different life stages. Our range includes farm fresh hays, fortified foods, nutritious treats, beneficial supplements, enrichment items, and care products. These products are highly recommended by veterinary professionals and dedicated pet owners worldwide.

One of our top products, Oxbow’s Essentials - Hamster & Gerbil Food, is formulated under the guidance of leading exotic veterinarians to meet the unique nutritional requirements of pet hamsters and gerbils. We blend Timothy Hay with barley and oats to provide essential nutrients that support their daily functions and performance. Feeding instructions are as follows: Unlimited pellets for young (under six months) or pregnant/nursing small hamsters or gerbils; 1/8 cup for adult small hamsters; and 1/3 cup for adult gerbils or large hamsters. It's worth noting that while hay is not a staple in their diet, offering free choice hay allows them to burrow and hide.

This food contains balanced protein, fat, and carbohydrates for energy, antioxidants and prebiotics to support their immune system, uniform kibble to prevent selective feeding, and fortified vitamins and minerals for optimal health. It is recommended by veterinarians and nutritionists, and the feeding instructions vary for different age groups.

To further support your pet's natural behaviors, complement their diet with Oxbow grass hay, which encourages burrowing and nesting instincts. By combining these products, you can ensure that your pet hamster or gerbil leads a healthy, active lifestyle.
