I have a Syrian and two dwarves (Robo and Hybrid) and feed the dwarves a dwarf mix because the food pieces are so much smaller and therefore more suitable especially for my tiny Robo.
There may be a nutritional difference someone here may explain further.
What species of dwarf are you planning to get?

Honestly I'm unsure what species I don't think I want a Robo or Chinese for sure so maybe winter white or campbell(:

To be honest, there’s no reason why a hamster with a healthy set of teeth can’t manage a Syrian food and even my tiny Harvest Mice can eat it without problems but I know that some owners do prefer to feed a mix more tailored to dwarfs and that’s something you can look into switching your hamster on to if you wanted.

Awesome I plan to get a fresh bag for dwarves too and mix it through but I just don't want to waste my bag of Syrian food(:

ETA: I realise I just assumed you’re talking about Harry Hamster but it could be another Syrian food. What Syrian food do you have in mind?
