I tend to mix different hamster foods together to give Chubs more variety as one mix may be boring on it`s own and I find hamsters do become bored with the same mix. I currently use:

JR Farm dwarf mix

Burgess Supahamster

Supreme Science Selective

Millet spray

Crunchy trail seed mix (Lidl) these contain shelled sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. I mix some into my hamster food

You can also buy various healthy nuts and seeds in small packets in supermarkets to crush up and add in. All healthy and better than pet shop bras/treats.

I find doing it this way works well and you can pick and mix really if one food isn`t liked and switch to another.

I recently bought a bag of Bunny Dream hamster food from Zooplus at £5.99p and was disappointed with it as it was full of pellets and whole oats with sharp ends. It looks more like a rabbit food that`s overpriced. Won`t be buying it again. x
