Oxbow’s Essentials - Hamster & Gerbil Food is formulated with the guidance of top exotics veterinarians to meet your pet hamster or gerbil’s unique nutritional needs. We combine hand-selected Timothy Hay with wholesome barley and oats to provide vital nutrients that support daily function and performance in hamsters and gerbils. FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS: Young (under six months) or Pregnant / Nursing Small Hamster or Gerbil/Large Hamster: Unlimited Adult (over six months) Small Hamster: 1/8 cup Adult (over six months) Gerbil/Large Hamster: 1/3 cup.

At Oxbow Animal Health, our purpose is to help people and pets live happy, healthy lives. For more than 30 years, we’ve partnered with leading veterinarians and nutritionists to develop nutrition and care products that meet the specific species and life stage needs of rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice.
