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 MUST HAVE!
By angel on Dec 7, 2021
I was using the all living things seed mix, however soon realized my hamster needs more nutritional value in their food and was just not getting the proper amount. this is a wonderful seed mix, however you must mix with mazuri lab locks for more protein. this mix is perfect not having to manny unnecessary fillers. your hammy will love this:))

Not what I expected
By PDBR on Dec 26, 2021
Thought this was a gourmet blend. Seems like all the hamster foods are loaded with millet seed, which he will not eat. Seems like a waste of money trying to pick out some of the good nuts and seeds he will eat.

Too much bird seed. Still good
By TeddyHammy on Dec 17, 2021
My hamster likes the food. Will eat all besides the bird seed and green pellets. He will only eat those when he runs out of food. Nutritional variety. Would be nice if they didn't have so much bird seed

A Hamster Necessity!
By Taylor on Oct 22, 2021
This will be your hamsters best food choice, best available one on the market! I combine this mix with Mazuri Rat protein blocks, and my hamster is so happy! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON OTHER PET STORE FOODS.

High Quality!
By Isabella on Aug 18, 2021
Higgins Sunburst is probably the highest quality “pet store” hamster food you can find. A variety of seeds and nuts are in the mix, it is very enriching and my dwarf hamster absolutely adores it. The only downside is that it does not contain enough protein that hamsters need. To supply the protein my hamster needs, I mix in dried mealworms and Kaytee lab blocks in with the mix and it balances everything out perfectly. I would recommend buying this food!

Lola Loves It!
By Lola on Aug 7, 2021
My daughter got her first hamster and we did tons of research before we got her. This hamster has the life... she has a giant tank with tons of hiding spots a wheel and bunches of other stuff. A YouTube hamster expert said she feeds her hamsters a 50/50 mix of this food and mazuri rat/mouse food ... along with a container of dried mealworms. So we put this and the mazuri food along with the mealworms in a container and mixed it up well and feed her 2 tablespoons of the mix every couple of days until she finishes it all... we also give her a tablespoons worth of fresh fruit/veggies daily with a pinch of brewers yeast on it for her coat and stress. She is a happy healthy and sweet hamster who seems My daughter got her first hamster and we did tons of research before we got her.

I 100 % recommend this food...I also recommend the mixing like I just wrote we took the hamster to our vet for a check up and she said the diet is perfect! :) Lola has a great life and we want to make sure my daughter has her hamster for as long as possible. If you are reading this and plan to get a hamster or already have one I plead with you to please make sure you have a giant cage for them or at best a giant aquarium glass tank that you set up for them with good bedding hiding spots and toys and chewers. It stresses hamsters so much to be in tiny spaces. They may be tiny but they need lots of space to play and burrow in. … more

Robo Hamster wouldn't eat it
By Jillian on Jul 21, 2021
I've bought this exact brand in store, and am instore mix of the exact same ingredients for my robo hamster, which he's eaten the entire year we've had him. Not sure of this package was bad or what, but he literally would not eat anything from it. After two days I had to go oit and get a new bag, and he started eating again. Threw this out.

Hammies going to town!
By Olivia on Jun 25, 2021
I have two Chinese dwarf hamsters, Cleveland and Phillie. My boys love this food. Gave them some, and they instantly started putting some in their cheek pockets. However this food doesn’t have everything hamsters need. So I did combine this with other missing needs. Definitely will be getting this again.
