People keep leaving reviews about how other specific brands are better choices due to protein content; but when I look the the nutritional breakdown, they match Oxbow. My hamsters are healthy as can be and love this food.

My hamsters are healthy as can be and love this food. I prefer it over other choices due to the fact the hamsters will get picky and only eat what they like from the mixes. This food gives them a balanced diet no matter what. I haven't had a single hamster refuse to eat it, and I do give them other nutrients outside of it as well. Over all, it's a great product and I love the brand. … more

Great quality
By Mataya on Jan 4, 2021
This was the hamster food recommended to us at the pet store. It doesn't contain seeds or anything the hamster might pick and choose from. Just healthy, timothy grass and other nutrients. Our hamster loves it!

We recommend
By monica on Dec 30, 2020
This food works very well for my hamster. The kibble shape is important, I think. I bought a bag of the organic version of this food and it's shaped like pellets (versus circles). My hamster started jamming his cheeks with it and every time we'd play with him, he'd spit it out on us. He never does that with this food so we've been buying this one consistently for a long time. Our Russian White hamster is almost 2 years old now and seems to be going strong.

DONT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By Nugget on Jul 31, 2020
This is made up of mostly hate and hamsters cannot digest hey please do not buy this for hamsters. Also there is no different textures or anything so it makes the food very boring and makes your hamster sad! The only reason you should buy this is if the store you bought your hamster from was eating this cause you have to get them used to the new food!!!

Not too expensive and my hamster loves it. You don’t need any other supplements or treats with this.

Unhealthy!!
By AngelsOwner on May 30, 2020
Hamster are omnivores and they need a variety!!! Please don’t feed this to your hamster!! It is mostly hay and gives no variety. Hamsters don’t need Hay. instead get Higgens Sunburst Gourmet Blend along with Mizuri Rat and Mouse Diet or Power of Five Hamster Diet.
