Pellets: Full Cheeks Hamster & Gerbil Pelletted Diet (syrian would nibble, dwarf would eat + good as mush)
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2024 11:45 pm
I bought Full Cheeks Hamster & Gerbil Pelleted Diet from Petsmart.
Listed Prices
Petsmart: $9.49 CAD for 453.6 grams / 1 pound. (November 2024.)
This is the only other pellet food I buy other than the Living World Extrusion block pellets. I treat it as a supplemental food and offer small amounts alongside their main food. I watched my Syrian and my dwarf nibble on it.
I have a soft spot for Full Cheeks pellets because when I noticed my dwarf started to eat less dry food (at about 1 year), I remember reading that some people would add water to food for older hamsters to eat. So I added a small amount of water to these pellets because I had them on hand. To my surprise, my dwarf loved her mush.
She ate the mush more and more as she grew older. I know the first ingredient is timothy hay, but it was an easy off-the-shelf solution. I will say that my younger Syrian was completely uninterested in the mush.
