So it looks like I have two types of hamster food to choose from, both with roughly the same percentages.
Protein is 12.3% (or more, is what it says), fat is 7.7%, and fiber is 12%. There's also data for ash, moisture, and calories, but idk how important those are.
If I give my hamster oatmeal a couple times a week and regular vegetables with occasional egg or chicken do you think that will be okay?

Do you have lab blocks available?If so,it might be worth considering a mixed diet.Of course,I'd suggest trying to find a lab block with around 23% protein to mix in and since the protein of the food you're considering is similar to the Higgins Vita Garden protein amount I'd say you'd end up with around 18% or so give or take if you had a 60% lab block(at 23% protein)40% seed mix diet.
