Hamsters need a small handful of dried food and some fresh food such as a carrot or lettuce leaf once a day. If there is any left over from the previous day it should be removed.

How do you switch hamster food?

Hamsters will need a bit of time adjusting to new food like most pets do, unless they aren't picky. My suggestion is that you should still feed them what you use now, but gradually add more of the new food over time into the old to give them time to get used to it. Do this for a few weeks until finally giving them just the new food by itself. Hopefully, by then they should be so used to eating it that they don't mind it.

Weaning is when the young hamsters completely stop using the milk of the mother, the weaning process begins when the hamsters start eating other foods, though also keep drinking the mother's milk.

It cost more to get a turtle all set up, but then they do not need a lot. They will need food, but they do not eat a lot. They do not use bedding or anything, just rocks and water. Hamsters are cheaper to buy, but then they have to be kept up. They need new bedding and food pretty regular.
