Oxbow

[Zipfelmuetze]

I'm planning on feeding my new Syrian hamster Oxbow. He is currently still on that Kaytee (filled with seeds and weird things) stuff. Is it ok to just do Oxbow, or should I also offer something that has the sunflower seeds, etc?
Also, how much of the Oxbow for one Syrian per day?

Oxbow Healthy Handfuls is a supplement to a standard Hamster mix - not sure on amount, sorry, as it's just available in the US

We feed our Syrian 6-8 pieces a day, but the Oxbow is used in addition to a seed based food. I currently feed the Sunseed brand to both our Syrian and winter white dwarf, but I have looked into the Hazel Hamster and am considering a change in the future. I also provide old fashion oats and mealworms as part of their regular diets, and yes our Syrian happens to love mealworms!
