Harlan Teklad or Burgess Dwarf Hamster?

[AmityvilleHams]

The 15 percent from Vita Garden(updated nutritional value,as it used to be much lower!)would be just fine with added high quality protein like Pure Bites shrimp

It's not quite that simple Amity, a young ham would need another 4% protein, shrimps are really very light so the volume of shrimps needed to make that up would be way out of proportion to the rest of the mix.
Better to stick with the Burgess & know the protein levels are already good.

Just ordered 4 bags of the Burgess! It will take a few weeks for delivery since it’s coming from the UK. Until then, I’ll continue with what I’ve been doing.

Just wondering Cypher, what do people in the UK prefer to feed their Syrian’s?

That should keep you going for a while
Most people use Harry Hamster food for Syrians here.
