Looking for Good Seed Mix Options

Post by Chamomile_Bloom »

Hello Everyone!

I'm getting ready to welcome a new hamster into my home soon. It's been a few years since owned my last hamster, so I want to check in and learn about current good seed mix options for a WW dwarf. I'm in the US, and I was recommended to mix Bunny Nature HamsterDream Expert Hamster Food (I have access to the 1.1lb bag) with a 1.09oz bag of chicken Purebites.

This is what the guaranteed nutritional analysis looks like after putting it into a calculator from TheHammingway.com:

Protein: 18.44%
Fat: 6.3%
Fiber: 5.71%

I'm concerned about how low the fiber is. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can add or even for other mixes?

Hello!

I have actually heard that the bunny nature dream dwarf food is better than 'syrian' bunny nature dream food. I would research a bit and check that option out!

I have personally never tried bunny nature hamster foods, but that's only because I am in Canada and can't get my hands on them :(

Thank you, Bella!

I'll have to see if I can get ahold of the dwarf mix where I live.
