I use LM Animal Farms Classic Blend Hamster Food for my two dwarfs. The younger hamster is more alert when I give put the food in the ceramic cup. She goes running after it and eats all she cans, leaving very little for the other hamster. I'm wondering how many tablespoons of hamster food should I serve?

I suggest always having fresh food for them available. Hamsters love to take far more than they need and store it in their hiding places. They stuff their cheeks full of food, and then spit it out, consuming only what they really need. So let them have as much as they want.
BUT, be sure to clean out their foor hordes regularly and not let anything spoil.
Also, give them fresh vegeis like brocolli, carrots, maybe a strawberry. They might love either or yogurt and fresh beef (not cooked, and just bought). DONT let them store these items though. Take whatever they dont eat away after they lose interest. One of our dwarf pearl whites was a meat lover, and would not touch yogurt. The other was the exact opposite. Kinda funny!

I would recommend that you leave four tablespoons of food. Yes, it might not seem like a lot, but, that's all that a hamster really needs! Remember to throw away any of the unwated fodo the next day and fill it up with the 4 tablespoons! I have two female dwarf hamsters and how much that I feed mine! Thanks, and good luck!

Make sure they always have a bowl of food all the time, they normally wont eat it straight away, but put it in their pouches and store it somewhere.

Just leave a bowlful in the cage so they can eat whenever they want.

I don't think "Dwarf" is a politically correct term. They preferred to be called "Little People." I would never keep them as pets-they are humans just like you and me!!!! They should never be expected to eat HAMSTER FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I knew where you lived I would call social services on you!!!!!!
