I have syrians and I give them mealworms.

I give all my rodents mealworms.

I give them a small amount of veg, waxworms, yoghurt, wild bird seed, complete dog food and almost anything else I think they'll like.

give anything new in small amounts until you know it isnt' going to have an adverse affect on them though.

Got too many to mention!!!!!!

I am constructing a website for my rodents so if you'd like to take look please be patient I'm not very good with webpages so it may take a while to get up and running. I only have the hamster pages anywhere near done.

careful with anything with sugar with dwarves they are prone to diabetes

6!! that's great... a lot of people question wether hamsters should be fed all this kind of stuff, but with an age like that, it just proves that it's ok, although I don't think I would risk feeding some of them things to mine, especialy not crisps....

WOW!!! That's brilliant - well done you.

Hammies also like big furry moths, fed live...
