Tihs magical ‘yeast’ thing..What to feed a hamster during illness and proteins
Woah…it was almost two days since i posted here x] hehe. My life is exciting enough to post everyday! Well i was on Hamsterific.com today wondering what you should feed a hamster for protein. (notice the long title) And it said meat can be pervided in small chunks of beef or mutton (never use pork) canned dogfood or mealworms, meal worms are perticularly a faverite for hams! ( no offence but i rather not watch my hamster eat worms :] ) It also explained you can help baby hamsters and pregnant mothers by giving them bread soaked/dipped in milk! (but thats a diff subject) I was particularly interested in the Yeast subject though… “yeast is rich in Vitamin B which acts on the nervous system and is extremely effective in reducing stress in a hamster. (stress is the primary cause of most deseases particualy wet tail) (btw ps: Wet tail is when the hamster doesnt want to drink water and when it does, it isnt used and goes out of the hamster which is why the hamsters butt is wet)) Feeding yest once a week could very well BE ONE OF THE GREATEST PREVENTATIVE MEASURES FOR MANY ILLNESSES, (make sure the yeast isnt bitter like bakers yeast) Use one half a table spoon of yeast. And also make sure there isnt garlic in the yeast. There is also entries of balanced foods like vitamins, proteins, minterals, water, milk and fats. It even prevides recomended foods!
Apples (not for dwarfs)
Bananas(not for dwarfs)
Beans (accept raw kidney beans)
Broccoli

Cupcumber
Dandelions (leaves and flower)
