Is This a Good Seed Mix?

I found a Canadian hamster website that sells a seed mix and I was wondering what your opinion is on it? They are also a ethical hamster breeder and have some informational hamster articles in french

Well it's not what I would call a complete mix because you probably need at least 30+ ingredients but it's definitely better than Higgins Sunburst or Vita Garden. I am not the biggest fan when I see chia seeds in a mix since we don't know if they expand in the belly or not but if it's very small amount, it's probably ok. Since the sellers are treating it like a supplement to a diet and not a complete mix, I would probably alternate between this mix and another commercial mix, just to be on the safe side. I'm not sure if they are doing that for a reason.
I would still try this out! It's got more variety than most others. Just be sure to freeze ANY mix you buy for at least 24 hours before you use. I think sometimes I forget to tell people because it's "common knowledge" but obviously it's not common if you aren't being told.
I would be curious to see a review from one of the Canadian members on this mix. If we get a few people vouching for it, maybe we can add it to the list for Canada, it would be the first homemade mix that I've seen that has at least a decent shot at making the list.

Thank you! This was all great information
I'm thinking I might want to contact the sellers first to see if they know what the guarenteed analysis is. I think this mixed with one of the Higgins mixes (Vita Garden for dwarves, Sunburst for Syrians) would have lots of variety and wouldn't be too expensive either.
I did check if maybe they had the guarenteed analysis or some other information when using the french version of the website since they only had the articles in french, but I guess not. I think it would be worth contacting the seller with some questions!

Das klingt auf den ersten Blick durchaus vielversprechend. Wenn der Züchter Wert auf artgerechte Haltung legt und die Saatenmischung transparent mit allen Zutaten und Nährwerten beschreibt, ist das meist ein gutes Zeichen. Die zusätzlichen Informationsartikel sind ebenfalls ein Pluspunkt, besonders wenn sie fundiert sind. Wenn du den Link oder die genaue Zusammensetzung der Futtermischung teilst, kann man besser beurteilen, ob sie wirklich ausgewogen und für Hamster geeignet ist. RTBet Casino bietet abwechslungsreiche
