Hi so I have to start measuring Willows food because it seems she is hoarding a lot of it and so I want to measure it so she has like only 1 or 2 teaspoons or maybe tablespoons or something is that too much if I feed her every two days or should I switch to every three days? How much should I do I am really stressed honestly. Please someone help.

I would start with 1 tbsp every 3 days, but every day check her hoards, if their seems to be and extremely big decrease of hoard then maybe switch to 2 days, and if their is too much, decrease amount to 1- 2 tsp

So I decided to do 2 tsps to start because to me 1 tbsp was a lot for her and it would be more of the little pebble things and I also give her a little bit of this forage mix that I got from Hamster Mail and I will be checking her hoard and how much is gone on the surface the next few days and then deciding if I am going to do every 2 days or 3 days.

Ok, sounds great! I forgot to ask Is your hammy a dwarf or syrian, by giving 2 tsp it sounds like a dwarf but just want to make sure.

A dwarf. It seems it might be too much already so I might give her one tsp. My mom said 2 tsps is 1 tablespoons so it might of been too much anyway.
