Vitakraft vita special

I found this All in one mix at the locally pet store, it's all in one pellets, but with no animal protein.
Those of you who know my Romeo, know what a struggle it is to get him to eat his mix.
He is the pickiest hamster ever! He will not eat any kind og dried proteins! We are even having a hard time getting him to eat dried chicken.
I want to try this with him and then give him some cooked chicken or something like that.
Have any og you tried it?
And what are your opinions?

There were 2 choices, Vita Kraft Vita Smart & Vita Kraft Vita Nature. I liked the Vita Nature as I found that my hamsters didn't like the pellets in Vita Smart. But if they don't have a choice on anything else to eat, then they will eat the pellets with tough love

My pet store here stopped carrying Vita Nature for some reason?

I've never used it & having a quick google can't find any real info about the G/A, just the fibre content & ingredients, the ingredients are a bit vague & it does seem to have quite a lot of dairy which is far from ideal for a ham.
Did it say on the packet you saw what the G/A was?

This is what i bought, it doesn't say any og the names you mention.

That's the one I found when I googled but there's no info on all the various sites I looked at.
I think the ones CB mentioned are only available in the US?

Protein 14 %
Crude fat 3 %
Crude Fiber 10%

Thats definetely not the same. This has 19,5% protein.

Your bag has different GA then mine? The protein levels in your bag are ideal

If the protein is 19.5% then he certainly wouldn't need any extra, that's quite high & would be too high when he got older but ok for a younger ham, the fibre content is ok although it doesn't seem to say what the fat % is.
If you're really struggling to find a food that works for him it might be worth a try but as I said the ingredients list is not at all specific, I personally don't like foods that contain "by products" or don't specify what cereals or grains actually is & I find the dairy content just odd but it's really up to you whether you think it's worth a go or not.
