    Ok… you are putting slightly too much thought into feeding your hamster. Pretty much any hamster food available on the market is enough to keep your hamster alive and happy for a long hamster life span, (if it says ‘hamster food’ it probably is hamster food) and spending too much on overpriced food won’t really make a difference to animals that live off whatever they find in the wild. I’d recommend just buying the cheapest you can get, and mix in sunflower seeds as a treat.

    I do not suggest any food products by Kaytee. The food contains a preservative called ethoxyquin which has been known to cause cancer in small animals.

    Mazuri lab blocks for hamsters are good. You can suppliment it with a good seed mix, and also give your hamsters fresh veggies and fruits several times a week.

    I’m not sure of many more hamster foods, as I haven’t owned hamsters in a long time. Good luck!

    It looks tasty to be honest! Read the ingredients and make sure but it seems pretty good for them for sure!

    Seed mixes aren’t that good for them ebcause they pick out what they like. Feed your hamster a lab block designed for hamsters and supplement with treats like sunflower seeds, fruits and vegetables.
