A big hit with the little hams

We have a Syrian and a dwarf hamster. They both love this product! They prefer the bigger pieces, but they eat the little balls eventually after they've stowed

We have a Syrian and a dwarf hamster. They both love this product! They prefer the bigger pieces, but they eat the little balls eventually after they've stowed away all the big pieces. They seem healthy and their coats look great, so I think the food really agrees with them.

Great Quality Food My Gerbil Loves

I recently tried the Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health Nourish and Protect Hamster and Gerbil Food for my gerbil, and I am really impressed. The mix looks fresh, colorful, and full of variety, which makes me feel good about what I am giving him. He immediately went for it and has been happily snacking ever since. I also appreciate that the formula includes added vitamins and nutrients for overall health. The eight pound bag is huge and will last a long time, so it offers great value. There is no dust and no stale smell, just a clean and high quality blend. If you are looking for a nutritious food your small pet will enjoy, I definitely recommend trying this. My gerbil gives it two tiny thumbs up.

Picky gerbil approved!

My girls have a habit of picking through seed blends to eat their favorites and leave the rest. With this food, they eat most of it! That’s a win for them. They

My girls have a habit of picking through seed blends to eat their favorites and leave the rest. With this food, they eat most of it! That’s a win for them. They will still pick through a bit, so we are always trying different options, but this will stay in the rotation as a good option for my discerning girls.

Kaytee products are alwaws reliable & this mix is no exception. The mix is clean, no waste and was readily welcomed. The dwarf hammies loved the bigger chewy pieces that seemed too large but they actually picked them out first. Good chewing activity!

Great product

With the exception of the pellets, the small rodent food is high quality and well received. Unfortunately, the pellets included in the mix go uneaten by the hamsters

With the exception of the pellets, the small rodent food is high quality and well received. Unfortunately, the pellets included in the mix go uneaten by the hamsters and mice. My order was received within 24 hours which is outstanding by any measure. Thanks Chewy.
