Would this be suitable for an 8 week Syrian Hamster?

Answer by ChewyJun 17, 2018
This food is suitable for hamsters and gerbils of all life stages.

Is this mix vegetarian or is there any meat such as worms in it?

Answer by ChewyDec 19, 2019
This hamster and gerbil food does not feature any animal products.

How long would it last for a Syrian hamster with 50% lab block and 50% this seed mix?

Answer by ChewyJun 07, 2020
The longevity of the bag will depend on the feeding amounts. It is recommended to feed your hamster/gerbil 2 to 3 tbsp of Sunburst per day depending on the age of your pet. Younger animals will eat more.

what is in the food?

Syrian Hamster loves it

Rosemary likes to sleep all day but if she hears me sprinkling this on top of her box she immediately pops her little head up out of her cave and runs to load up

Not hydrating enough

My Syrian developed super hard stools/blood on her hind end after a few weeks of eating this. The bird seed is also a waste, it's half the bag and she never eats

My Syrian developed super hard stools/blood on her hind end after a few weeks of eating this. The bird seed is also a waste, it's half the bag and she never eats it. Not a well-rounded diet and I can only pray now that the blood/hard stools goes away with a food change!

Too many little seeds

I tried this brand as it had good reviews but seems my hamsters don’t like the little seeds and that’s what this seems to primarily be they do love the sunflower

Least amount of wasted food

I have found that with the Higgins Sunburst Blend, I have the least amount of wasted food (seeds my Gerbils don't eat) than any other brand and blend that I have

Hammies love this food and nutritious!

This is a stable for my hammies. I adopt hamsters from shelters and have been feeding them this for years! They have all lived very long lives. Excellent!!!
