Hamster Central - View Single Post - Protein, Fat, Fibre percentages at different ages

I'd say around 17-18% for an older hamster,and probably around 21% for a young hamster.In between those for maintenance(in between ages)is good as well

Not sure the exact science behind it but there are apparent health problems linked to too much protein in older hamsters.I think around 18-19% shouldn't hurt though but definitely no less than 16-17%.
