What more can I give them?

Hello everyone, it's been a while!!

I feed Pixie and Tinkerbell a base food mix of Burgess Dwarf Hamster Harvest and JR Farm Feast for dwarfs with a couple of the Science Selective Hamster heart biscuits. They get added mealworms, millet seeds added in too, they also get the occasional sunflower and pumpkin seeds. They also get a one of a variety of fresh veg every couple of days too.

I was looking for another premade hamster mix that I can add into, or eventually replace the Burgess Dwarf Hamster Harvest & JR Farm Feast. They seem to be eating less and less of the base food so I wanted to find something to change it up with or add into it to make it less repetitive.

If I was to make my own food where would be a good starting point? I've heard that budgie seed premix is good as a start, but what seeds specifically etc would I need to use in a home made mix. I plan on getting the seeds online from an Amazon seller who sells at wholesale prices, so I can get a decent variety of seeds I just don't know where to start.


Thanks

Making your own food isn't easy & takes a lot of thought, if you have a read through this thread it might help.
Has anyone ever made their own hamster food?

Well that's home made food mix out xD
Any ideas of what premade mixes to use?

Someone on YouTube recommended the Burgess Supaharvest or something like that for dwarf hamsters It has mealworms in it too

Edit : Oops, you already mentioned that one

Burgess & JR farms are both good but another one to try that I like & the hams enjoy is the Bunny Dwarf HamsterDream Basic I haven't come across any other good dwarf mixes in the UK.

Thank you! That food is on my to buy list on Friday, I'll add it into what I have, see how it goes and if they prefer it I'll slowly get that one to be their sole base food.

Thank you! x
