Ours all get different feeds depending on condition but I know that EVERYTHING in shedland (be it rat, mouse, hamster or anything else) gets the eggfood that is marketed for birds every weeks, I just add it to warm water until its all soaked up, mix in a few drops of cod liver oil (though NEVER again! will go to linseed oil as it doesnt make me heave!) and over the winter i might mix in a sachet of soft cat food and make into a big bowl of mush and share dollops of it out between cages.
Our babies also get small seeds dropped into the nest, wheatgerm when we can find it, eggfood and some babyfood slop.
We buy loads of boxes of babyfood and put them into a plastic storage box so we dont have to buy it often. We never get the sweet babyfood as if fed weekly or more often then we've had several blighters get addicted to the sweetstuff and they got thin as they refused to eat anything else. Anything pasta/chicken/rice and vegetables gets fed in babyfood form.
Not to mention scraps LOL toast, bread, pasta, rice, chicken, beef or lamb scraps, carrots, cucumber and various other veggies.
Plus they get their homemade mix every four days which has a huge variety of seeds and flakes in.
