Default Re: Bird seed for dwarf hamsters

I've come across a couple of hamster foods with onion & leeks which is both perplexing & frustrating, no idea why they put it in when it's generally accepted that it's bad for them!
I checked out the other foods you mentioned & the Jolly one looks ok for a dwarf, protein is low at 12% so would definitely need some supplementing but that's not too hard with things like mealworms, boiled or scrambled egg, tiny pieces of chicken or things like soya flakes, I only found one link for the Q-nni Hamster Fortified Daily Diet with no info just a photo that looks highly dubious, lots of fruit including orange, very strange! The Versele Laga Cripsy Muesli Hamsters & Co. would be ok too, again protein is low, but a bit better at 15% so there are at least a couple of foods there that would be ok for a dwarf & better than trying to feed bird food.
Hope that helps.
