Ørkenrotte diet og ernæring

Mongolske ørkenrotter lever av ulike frø, insekter og planter i naturen. De har best av å leve av en godt balansert frømix med urter, blomster og insekter også i fangenskap.

Plants

Winterwhites prefer to eat a lot of grasses and sprouts but doesnt seem like they eat as many different plants and flowers as campbells do.

Flowers:

Luserne / Alfalfa,

Gress / spirer:

Rye (grain), Wheat (grain), Alfalfa, 

Temperature and winter

Vinterhvit dverghamster kommer fra stepper og drikker generelt lite vann kontra andre gnagere men de har fremdeles behov for nytt ferskt vann daglig og de drikker faktisk mest vann av dvergartene.

Skål eller flaske?

Det mest renslige og hygeniske er skål da flasker har mange kriker og kroker som samler bakterier og er vanskelig å vaske. Det og mange tror man kan gå flere dager mellom hver gang man må vaske flasken noe som er feil da flasker må også vaskes daglig eller maks annenhver dag for å minske bakterie og alge vekster. 

Skål gir bedre og mer naturlig drikkeposisjon samt er lettere å rengjøre daglig. Husk keramikk, glass eller metall og ikke plastikk skåler for drikkevann.

Ingen av mine hamstere på oppdrettet har flasker og mine er kun vandt med vannskåler noe jeg anbefaler å fortsette med hos kjøpere.

Hay

Hay is an important part of the roborovski diet that is often overlooked. Hay gives fiber as well as it can be used as nesting material. Hay needs to be refilled every now and again when they eat up the hay they were served as hay should always be available in the cage at all times. For diabetic hamsters timothy and alfalfa are the best types to give them. 

The most popular hay here for my robos have been timothy but ive heard other breeders like using hay from rye and barley. Herb hay, meadow hay anbd alfalfa hay are also some ive tested but timothy gets eaten the most.

There have been a lot of info over the years spreading in the hamster forums that hay is unnecessary, dangerous and not something for hamsters. This seems to stem from the fact that syrian hamsters, whose diet is so vastly different from the dwarfhamsters diets, do not consume hay and are more prone to poking their cheek pouches because they pouch a lot they shouldnt unlike the dwarfs. The 3 different dwarf hamster species however activly choose to consume and eat hay without any issues and with a preferance to it. Ive found especially older hams and pregnant hams have a bigger need for hay to consume.

Ørkenrotter kan spise kjøtt og fisk så lenge det ikke er rått kjøtt eller svin, men kjøtt er ikke en sunn proteinkilde for ørkenrotter og kan ikke erstatte insekter i dietten. Kjøtt bør heller ikke gis ofte sammen med ferskmaten og er en sjelden godbit de kan få i ny og ne men de har ingen behov for å spise kjøtt eller fisk.
