Burgess Country Values Hamster 750G

Burgess Country Values Hamster 750G

Burgess Country Values Hamster 750G is a nutritionally balanced, complete hamster food from Burgess Excel, made for hamsters, mice and gerbils. Its tasty nugget mix includes peas, and every nugget is complete, which helps stop picky eaters from leaving the parts they don't like. It suits South African small-pet owners who want one dependable everyday food for their rodents.

Healthy hamsters, mice and gerbils need a good-quality, balanced diet that gives them all the essential nutrients to stay happy and healthy. Country Values, also sold as Country Values Fun Hamster Crunch, is a complete pet food, so it is designed to serve as your small pet's main daily diet rather than a treat or top-up.

Key Benefits

• Nutritionally balanced and complete: formulated as a full diet for hamsters, mice and gerbils.
• Complete food nuggets: each nugget is nutritionally complete, which helps prevent selective feeding, where a pet picks out favourite bits from a muesli-style mix and ignores the rest.
• Made with peas: peas are added for extra tastiness, making it a tasty complete mix that small rodents enjoy.
• One food for three species: handy for homes that keep more than one kind of small rodent.
• Trusted brand: part of the Burgess Excel small-animal range.

How to Use

• Check the approximate daily feeding amount for your pet's species in the Dosage section below.
• Offer that amount each day as your pet's complete diet.
• Treat the figures as a guide. They are approximate amounts per animal per day.

Dosage

Approximate daily feeding amount:

Suitable For

• Hamsters: the Syrian hamster is the largest breed and can grow up to 19 cm (7.5") long. Syrian hamsters are solitary and should be housed alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is selective feeding, and how does this food help?
Selective feeding happens when a pet picks out its favourite pieces and leaves the rest, which can unbalance its diet. Burgess Country Values uses complete nuggets, so every bite offers the same balanced nutrition and picking out pieces makes no difference.

How much should I feed my hamster each day?
The guide is approximately 8–12g per day for a hamster. For a gerbil, offer about 8–10g, and for a mouse about 3–5g.

Can I use this one food for my hamster, gerbils and mice?
Yes. It is a complete food designed for all three species. Each species should still be housed separately, and each animal should get the daily amount suited to its species.

Can my Syrian hamster share a cage with another hamster?
No. Syrian hamsters are solitary and should be housed alone. They are the largest hamster breed and can reach up to 19 cm (7.5") long.

Can gerbils and mice live together?
Gerbils and mice should not live together. Both are very sociable, though, and can live happily in pairs or small groups with their own species.

Why are peas included in the mix?
Burgess adds peas for extra tastiness. They help make this complete, nutritionally balanced food appealing to hamsters, mice and gerbils.
