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 TerrierTroubles on Feb 23, 2021 Top 100 Contributor
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.

Love the variety!
By Emily on Feb 9, 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 25, 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!

Looks like a good selection but I've got a fussy gerbil
By moments on Dec 1, 2020
I had purchased this for my gerbil in the past because he's not a fan of the pellets or the filler seed which is in large amounts in other brands of mixed food. The first time I purchased he seemed to like most everything in it except for a few things, the 1/4 of filler seed included, which was left in the bottom of the bag after everything else was gone. I tried another brand because there was hardly any filler in it and was loaded with some of the stuff he always likes. Well not this time, he didn't even eat the sunflower seeds, so back to the Higgins I went cause I knew he liked most everything in it for sure. I bought again and... nope. He likes the cashews, peanuts and a couple other things I had purchased this for my gerbil in the past because he's not a fan of the pellets or the filler seed which is in large amounts in other brands of mixed food.

They don't tend to initially cost much but when you're forking out the dough looking for snacks and food they'll eat only to have it rejected they suddenly get costly! … more

One of the better hamster foods
By Abbi on Jan 3, 2021
I will switch back and forth between a couple brands of hamster food but I often have this one in my rotation. It works well for hamsters and mice with some small adjustments. I normally add a lab block as well but I don't know if that's needed. The bags always smell really good and sweet which is nice. All my rodents have enjoyed this blend.

A good food for hamsters
By Justanotherhamsterlady on Feb 20, 2021
Hamsters need a seed mix and a lab block. This plus Mazuri Rat Blocks or Sunseed Critter Cubes (both on chewy) give a hamster a good diet for all life stages.

Dinner Is Served

My favorite store bought hamster and gerbil food yet! There is a vast variety of hamster food out there. It’s hard to decide what’s best for your littles. Once you start analyzing the ingredients though you’ll realize that most of them are just filled with fillers and lacking in actual nutrients. This food is actually at the top of the list for best hamster/gerbil food. It’s true this brand use to have added sugars which is a big no no for the littles, but as of about 6 months ago (from the time that I reviewed this) they have removed all added sugar. No hamster food is perfect and you’re going to find something to pick at with any of them, but overall this is the most balanced food that I have My favorite store bought hamster and gerbil food yet!

Unless you’re willing to make your own, I suggest trying this product. This food does lack in protein so you should feed this along with Mazuri rat and mouse lab blocks (which Chewy also conveniently sells). Feeding those 2 foods together along with fresh veggies will give your little one a very well balanced meal. … more

Wonderful blend
By Hannah on Jan 18, 2021
I was recommended this by hamster YouTubers and it works wonders for my hamster! It as a good assortment of everything you need that keeps the hamster from getting bored of eating the same items over and over again.

Jellybean loves this food
By Momchele on Dec 9, 2020
My hamster loves this food. And I love that it doesn’t have a bunch of things that aren’t food. If you’ve ever looked at the ingredients in other hamster foods you probably know what I’m talking about.
