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.

My hamster is obsessed with this food! I love the variety of seeds, dried fruit/veggies, etc.

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!

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.

I buy this for my hamster along with Mazuri rat pellets at a 50/50 mix for the best commercial diet. He loves feeding time, and I know he’s eating healthy :)

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

My little guy has never said no to anything... and he refuses to eat this stuff.

My syrian seems to enjoy this stuff. I mix it with mazuri rat & mouse block pellets every other day and it’s perfect.

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

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.
