Default Djungarian food mixes

I've found an adorable djungarian (around 2 months old if that helps!) that I decided to adopt some time this month. This is my first time owning this particular species, and I am conflicted on what food to purchase. I was thinking of Higgins Sunburst with added pellets, but my local PetSmart doesn't carry it, and neither do ones farther away.
What food should I buy thats readiy available in the US? At this point, I'm willing to make my own food mix if anyone has suggestions on that.

I think all hamsters still follow the regular recommended nutrition unless they’re below 6months of age. Do u have any Versele Laga Hamster Nature there? U could also check for Harry/Hazel hamster just make sure that the protein is 18% and not 16%. The Versele Laga has to be supplemented tho so if u have Mazuri lab blocks that would be great too

Can you buy your food online? The Higgins sunburst isn't a bad mix, it is hard to find a really good mix in the US I know but that is one of the better ones, the protein does need supplementing a bit for a young ham but you could do that with mealworms & the occasional piece of plain cooked chicken or a little tofu.
If delivery charges are a bit high ordering online you can buy a few bags at a time & keep them in the freezer.
Making your own mix isn't that easy but if you are interested there is a thread where we discussed it here.
Has anyone ever made their own hamster food?
