How many mealworms does a hamster eat in a day?

Hamsters can eat some insects and arthropods, such as mealworms, silkworm chrysalis, etc. However, these foods are best kept as snacks or occasional supplements rather than as a mainstay of the diet. Because the nutritional value of these foods is not comprehensive enough, they can easily lead to nutritional imbalance as the main diet alone.

For mealworms, it is best not to feed more than 2-3 hamsters per day as feed. At the same time, in order to maintain a balanced diet, the hamster's main diet should be based on high-quality feed, such as hamster-specific dry food, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. It should be noted that hamsters are very prone to gastrointestinal problems due to too much food or improper storage, so you need to pay attention to the appropriate amount before feeding any food, and clean up the remaining food and waste in time.
