MODERATION That is the word of the day. Sunflower seeds are OK - in moderation. Cabbage is OK - in moderation. Though dark colored lettuce is better. Iceberg is a definite no-no since is has no nutritional value and is only water and fiber. Unfortunately most rodents look on iceberg lettuce like candy. Most commercial food mixes contain sunflower seeds along with other seeds and pellets for a nutritionally balanced hamster diet. Supplemented with occasional treats of fresh fruits and vegetables will be good for any hamster. But you need to work the fresh stuff in gradually so as not to upset her stomach.

Reply:its alright foor it to eat
Reply:if she looks overweight to you, she probably is.



just cut back a little on how much food is in her dish and make sure she gets plenty of excercise.

sunflower seeds tend to make them get fat pretty quick, too.
Reply:If you think she is overweight, then she probably is. All you really can do is control how much she eats. Just give her less than what she usually gets, it shouldn't take too long before she is back to a normal weight. Yes, they can have cabbage, it is really good for them.
Reply:well you should buy dietary food for it your can get it at your local pet store and you should buy a hamster wheel for it to exercise on plus it is one of the hamsters favorite toy
Reply:dwarf hamsters will NEVER get the size of a normal hampster...and yes they can eat cabbage

you must have gotten a regular hamster, because dwarf hamsters only get two inches long

just make sure you have a wheel for it, they have high matabolisms so they usually don't get fat
