When I purchased my syrian hamster chico a month ago, I also purchased a bag of food the same food they had been feeding him at the pet store. Unfortunately the pet store is a2 hour drive from my house and I don't go there frequently. I looked all around my town but can not find the food. Its called EXTRUSION COMPLETE HAMSTER FOOD. Its in really big pellets shaped kind of like peanuts.
I was wondering if it is possible to change my hamster's food. And if so how do I go about it??
Could I even mix this pellet with another type of food or will this cause stress and bring on wet tail?? Also a worker at the pet store suggested pedialite(I think that's how its spelled) for trips or anything that may stress the hamster, will this truly help?
