Look at that boy's glow up! He was almost double his healthy weight when he came to me. After months on a healthy, species appropriate pellet diet with carefully selected forage enrichment, he has slimmed down to a VERY healthy weight. Unfortunately, the mandarin color is extremely prone to obesity (which leads to a risk for diabetes), so he will require lifelong dietary management to maintain this healthy weight, but the hard part is behind us. Given a 120 gallon @Symton Inc terrarium to explore, appropriate @Niteangel® wheel, and @mazuri Hamster and Gerbil diet, we have gotten him where he needs to be, and his quality of life has improved because of it. Remember that hamsters can be overweight too, and also require appropriate diet and exercise to lead healthy lives. #hamster #properhamstercare #obesehamster #petweightloss #rodenttok #petdiet #petfood #mazuri #dwarfhamster #cute #glowup
