The difference is that the senior is way too low in protein for any hamster, including seniors. Stick with the junior one as that one is actually nutritionally appropriate, while the senior is not.

It's pretty much guaranteed that your hamster will enjoy the Rodipet mix, and it's nowhere near as expensive as if you had to go out and buy completely organic ingredients of the same quality.

Even if you did buy ingredients yourself, they'd cost more and if you didn't use all of an ingredient that particular ingredient would generate waste from your lack of use which is not only bad for your wallet but very bad for the environment. That's not considering how horribly imbalanced a homemade mix could be as mentioned, and just to be clear the results of an improperly balanced diet for any species including hamsters are never something you want to see and unfortunately aren't always reversible.
