Default Re: Mix Comparison

On a German forum they recommend different levels of protein for different stages of life for hamsters, but as with many things, we seem to do it differently here? (My cat even has OAP cat food lol). This, combined with the huge variation in levels between brands, leaves me uncertain about what is actually the optimum nutrition for a hamster, and where the authority for that lies. I would love to read the research that supports the levels used in hamster foods.

So, in the absence of concrete, peer reviewed research, do we go on what hamsters like to eat the best, or ones that contain the fewest additives or fillers, or supplement with additional items and hope for the best? Organic would be a fab step forward.
