Hi everyone!

I know everyone will have different opinions, but what percentages of protein, fat and fibre are required for a baby pure bred Winter White? Same hamster but for an adult? And elderly hammy?

Please could you link any articles or anything that might help or just your opinion.

I am wondering because I am making my own hamster food. I know baby hamsters need more protein and elderly hams need more fibre so obviously these values change, but I have never found anyway that gives values other than the standard 19% protein, 6% fat and 8% fibre.

Thanks
