Some of the larger strains may eat as much as 8 grams per day. Hamster and Gerbils: Feed free choice. For breeding animals, we suggest Mazuri® Rodent 6F. Always provide your animal with plenty of fresh, clean water. Storage Conditions For best results, ensure polybag seal is fully closed during storage, or store contents of open paper sack in container with sealing lid. Diets are packaged in sealed containers under nitrogen to ensure optimal freshness. Store in a cool (75o F or colder), dry (approximately 50% RH) location. Freezing will not harm the diet and may extend freshness. Adhere to the “Best if used by” date or use within 1 year of bag manufacturing.
