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.

A lot of fillers like corn
By kahlualua2 on Oct 12, 2020
In the list of ingredients, it says the sugar was removed from the dried beet pulp but then they added cane molasses. Not sure what that's about. Whenever I've purchased this, I generally take out a lot of corn for it is not the healthiest for hammies. If anyone knows a healthy option for hammies, let me know. I buy fresh veggies for them but it goes to waste for I am too lazy to prep them.

My picky mouse loves this stuff.
By Tink on Aug 30, 2020
There is less waste than with other brands. She normally will leave everything pellets and binge on seeds. She even eats the pellets in this blend. I'm not sure if it is the taste or the shape and size. (It is a 1/4" extruded square.)

High Variety
By HamsterHeart1238 on Aug 28, 2020
This seed mix is high variety and very nutritional, it does lack in protein and you should be putting this with a high protein lab block such as "Mazuri Rat and Mouse diet"

Tons of options for your animal
By Courtney on Jul 22, 2020
My two girl gerbils are super picky... i've had them on different seed feed for awhile until i tired this stuff! They love it and seem to eat most of everything unlike their old blend they would only eat two things out of it... highly recommend this blend!

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.

I just got my hamster and she loves this seed mix! It has lots of variety and is high quality. I recommend mixing it with Mazuri pellets for a hamster diet.

Hamster eats most of it
By emma on May 21, 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!!!
