Scatter Feeding
What is it: Sprinkling food across the enclosure and lightly into bedding.
This is the type of feeding that we use most commonly at the hamstery!
Benefits: This is a great enriching option for hamsters because they naturally forage for food in the wild!
Bowl Feeding
What is it: Place food in a ceramic or heavy bowl.
Benefits: Makes food easier for the hamster to find.
Cons: This limits the amount of exercise your hamster is getting
These both have their place...
