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.

Good Quality, Slightly Updated Package/Formula
By EmCh on Mar 7, 2021
No rips or tears & prompt delivery! The best by date of my bag is Jul 28th 2022 and everything looks great. The packaging has changed slightly, and cane molasses (an added sugar) has been removed from the ingredients. The protein is on the low end for hamsters, so I recommend supplementing with freezedried insects & higher protein pellets. Otherwise Sunburst has worked well for past dwarf hamsters and I'm anticipating all good things this time!

Great Quality!
By Sarah on Apr 26, 2021
Bought as a recommendation from some hamster experts - supplementing with some protein blocks as well. My dwarf hamster loves this stuff, and there’s good variety. The food smelled fresh upon opening and I appreciate the resealable bag. I’m glad I purchased it!

Too much millet
By Hamster on Apr 12, 2021
This food is about half millet, which my hamster hates. It's a cheap filler. I dump the whole bag into a strainer to sift out the millet, which I then toss outside for the squirrels. Will look for another brand.

Hamster Loves It
By TerrierTroubles on Feb 23, 2021 top100Contributor
This was the food my hamster's breeder recommended (shout out to Nantucket Hamstery!!) I had already purchased a different brand of food and my little ham was just not liking it. I purchased this and he gobbled it up right away! It smells very fresh and I love that it has a zipper close to keep it fresh, one less thing I have to pour into a container.

Great food for my hamster!
By customer on Mar 29, 2021
This offers a variety of different seeds and such, my hamster likes it. Recommend this for your hamsters! Had to research the best food brand, and this is it. Make sure you’re adding a pellet for extra protein though!

Love the variety!
By Emily on Feb 10, 2021
My Syrian hamster is fed this along with the mazuri rat and mouse lab blocks for added protein and he seems to be loving it! I love how natural it looks compared to the plain hay pellets I used to feed my hamsters.

Wonderful!
By JJRF on Dec 26, 2020
Wonderful my old syrian hamster lived a happy and healthy three years and was energetic, friendly, and healthy till his last day! My new picky dwarf hamster loves this food as well and is a very happy healthy young hammy. I love the variety of this food and how it isnt just a bunch of stale pellets. It has fruits nut veggies pellets and more and my hammy loves it. I love feeling like im giving my hamster a treat that I know he will love but also Im keeping him super healthy at the same time! plus chewy is wonderful i get my order a day or two after I order almost every time!
