Robo-Good food? U.s. Recommendations?
I want to get a robo, and am having a hard time finding a food/blend with 22% protein, for a young robo. My plan rn is ~47% sunseed vita prima dwarf hamster mix, ~47% mazuri rat and mouse blocks, and ~6% mealworms, giving a GA of 20.14% protein, 5.74% fat, and 8.733% fiber.
Heres a link:
Mealworms: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcos...s-reptile-food
Sunseed vita prima: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcos...amster-formula
Mazuri: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcos...and-mouse-food
Is this good enough for a young robo? If not, plz recommend some that I can get in the U.S.
I know about Higgins Sunburst and Mazuri blend. My problem with that mix is the low fiber, (less than 7%) and low protein (18%). And adding Purebites will lower that fiber even more, and then adding hay or oxbow will lower the variety and protein.
If anyone has any solutions, plz let me know! Thank you very much for reading!

That sounds ok, I think the sunseed is preferable to the higgins anyway as the higgins mix has too much fruit not all of which is suitable for hamsters.
You don't need to go above 20% protein even in the first six months, after that age about 18-19% is ample.
