Poor Quality

For some reason the last two bags were more powder, and my hamster has not been eating it.

Not as described

It says it has pumpkin seed, sunflower seeds, peanuts, rose petals, and carrots. When I opened the bag it is 95% pellets! the seeds, peanuts, petals, and carrots

It says it has pumpkin seed, sunflower seeds, peanuts, rose petals, and carrots. When I opened the bag it is 95% pellets! the seeds, peanuts, petals, and carrots are just sprinkled in there. My hamsters don’t like pellets, so this was a waste of money. Will not buy again!

Lots of pellets

This food had a lot of pellets, and only a few seeds, flowers, and nuts. My hamster are only a handful of the items in this mix, and none of the pellets.
