Re: Are corn and peanut okay in a seed mix?
Are you making a Homemade Mix or is this a ready made mix?
If it's the latter, then it's fine as long as your hamsters doesn't have Diabetes.
If it's the former they are okay but make sure they aren't Salted peanuts and that the corn is Field Corn and not Sweetcorn

Both corn & peanuts are fine for hams.
Lilac sweetcorn is ok & found in many ham mixes also often fed as an extra veg.

The ones found in Hamster Mixes is Field Corn. Sweetcorn is used as a treat but I have yet to see any Commercial Hamster mixes that use Dried Sweetcorn.

As the others have said, peanuts and corn are perfectly fine for hams. Corn, especially sweet corn, should be limited if you have a dwarfie simply due to higher sugar content. Hope your ham(s) enjoy their mix

Just don't add extra corn or peanuts As long as the food is a high quality mix with no unsafe preservatives or unsafe ingredients,it is completely fine.Of course,there are unsuitable foods out there with corn and or peanuts as well,but when considering the higher quality foods these ingredients are fine.
