Feeding Guidelines

While introducing a new food to your hamster/gerbil, gradually mix Sunburst® with your pet’s old diet. Increase the amount of Sunburst® over a period of 7 to 10 days. This will allow your pet to adjust to the new food and it will prevent any upset to your pet’s digestive system. Feed your hamster/gerbil 2 to 3 tbsp of Sunburst® per day depending on the age of your pet. Younger animals will eat more. Always regulate the food portion to maintain your pet’s weight. Remove and discard uneaten food everyday and clean the bowl prior to refilling it. Always maintain fresh drinking water near your pet’s food container.
