I would also suggest looking at Vectis's thread as well. Their are suggestions for supplements that lower blood sugar. Also the Higgins Vita Garden does contain Cane Molasses which is a direct source of sugar. I know people say it has benefits, but personally I would go - no sugar whatsoever. Carbs can be broken down to make sugars and that is enough. Tricky to find dwarf hamster food like that in the US. I think the Burgess dwarf hamster is the only sugar-free one or as Vectis suggests, making your own mix with the healthy seeds possibly (sounds time-consuming though).
