Roborovskis eat for the most part a lot of grass and wildseeds in the wild but also flour and oil seeds as well.

Om man skal gi vaktler en viltbasert frødiett når man har dem i fangenskap er det viktig at det dekker næringsbehovene til typen vaktel man har.

Frø er ofte den største delen av dietten til vaktler og i en frømix er dette den største kategorien. Når man blander en frømix har man 3 kategorier frø man går etter, melfrø, oljefrø og villfrø. Melfrø er ulike korn, hirser og lignende mens oljefrø er solsikkefrø, linfrø, gresskar kjerner etc. Villfrø er ulike blomster og urtefrø. For å ha en godt sammensatt frømix må man ha ett godt utvalg av disse kategoriene da det å bare slenge sammen noen korn, mais og solsikkefrø er ikke en komplett frømix som dekker næringsbehovet for vaktler.

Insekter i en frømix står for det meste for protein behovet til vaktler men de inneholder også andre viktige næringstoffer.

Planter er en ofte oversett del av fugledietten fra hva jeg får med meg og den er veldig viktig om man ønsker å mate frømix til vaktlene. Planter, urter og blomster er rik på vitaminer, mineraler og en del andre komponenter som sørger for godt opptak av næringsstoffer og normal kroppsfunksjon.
Temperature and winter
Frøspisende vaktler har behov for å ha tilgang til grit.
Temperature and winter
En komplett frømix for vaktel vil ha flere ingredienser fra hver kategori for variasjon og bestå av matvarer de liker og helst matvarer artene finner i naturen for å etterligne hva de ville spist der mest mulig.

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.
