Feed your hamster/gerbil 2 to 3 tbsp of Sunburst per day depending on the age of your pet. Younger animals will eat more. Always regulate the food portion to maintain your pet’s weight. Remove and discard uneaten food everyday and clean the bowl prior to refilling it. Always maintain fresh drinking water near your pet’s food container.
While introducing a new food to your pet friend, gradually mix new food with your pet’s old diet. Increase the amount of food over a period of 7 to 10 days. This will allow your pet to adjust to the new food and it will prevent any upset to your pet’s digestive system.

Hamster loves it
By Emily on Jun 27, 2020
This is a great food for hamsters. Even though you still need to provide another food mix for your hamster to have a full, balanced diet, this offers superb variety. I have a problem with my hamster being a picky eater, but all of the food in this bag he absolutely adores! I have done a lot of research and this is reccommended by a lot of experts.

Hamster eats most of it
By emma on May 20, 2020
My hamster loves this stuff, i like that sunflower seed are in it because he LOVES them. The only thing he leaves behind are these brown pellets. It is low in protein, so by some sort of protein rich pellet (like Mazuri Rat and Mouse blocks) and mix half and half!

Won't buy anything else!
By Hamstermama2 on May 10, 2020
I love this food for my winter white drawf hamster this is the best food you can possibly get on the market for hamster but this food alone doesn't quite give the right amount of protein so pair it with the mazuri rat and mouse blocks. Would recommend this to any hamster owner!!!

hamster food
By great on May 16, 2020
My dwarf loves this! Has a very good variety! He is also very healthy. There is not a lot of protein so I do mix with Mozuri rat and mouse pellet and dried meal worms. He also gets fresh veggies once a week! 100% recommend this product!

Great food!
By JaqR on Apr 10, 2020
I’ve been using the Higgins Vita Garden for my mice for a couple years, now, and I had originally planned to get the hamster version, but I wasn’t able to get to a store, so I decided to try this one, and I’m glad I did. My hamster really seems to like the variety, and I feel good feeding this to her.

The best of the best
By DracsMommy on Apr 11, 2020
My absolute favorite hammy food. Lots of variety and has a good protein count... I also offer Mazuri blocks and freeze dried mealworms because hamsters are protein based so no seed mix will be enough as a stand alone. However as seed mixes go Higgins is the best and I won’t buy anything else.

Dwarf Hamsters Favorite
By Chubs on Apr 14, 2020
My hamster Chubs loves the varieties that this pack of food gives. He doesn't become picky and actually eats all of his food when I feed him this bag. I've gone through one whole bag within a year. It does last that long and I'm onto my second bag! Love this brand!

product not as advertised
By Anne on Apr 13, 2020
A lot of tiny seeds in here, I’m guessing for filler so the bag costs less to produce. Many of the seeds are far too small for the hamster to eat. Look at my picture and compare to the picture in the item description. Very different.

By snowicorn on Jun 23, 2020
