This is the nutritional info I found online:
Hamster Pellets, Kibbled Peas, Flaked Wheat, Alfalfa Pellets, Kibbled Maize, Red Millet, Meat Derived Extrusions, Canary Seed, Small Striped Sunflower, Coloured Mini Cereal Extrusions, Carrot Flakes, Whole Barley, Mealworms, Peanuts.

Typical Analysis:
Crude Protein 16%, Crude Fibre 4.5%, Oil Content 5%, Crude Ash 4.8%.

My opinion: The protein is a bit low. I don't like "hamster pellets", "cereals" and "meat derived extrusions" etc being treated as ingredients. Tell me what those are please.

It also specifies on the manufacturers website that it is a complementary food and not a complete food. So it cannot be fed alone.
