Even with mealworms it's at a level that would be too risky to play with.If it were for example Carefresh and Higgins Sunburst you'd get around 15.5 or 15.6% protein which is less risky to just add protein to(which you should do regardless of the food if it does not contain animal protein to make a truly appropriate natural hamster diet!).The ratio for that is two thirds Carefresh to one third Higgins,exact amounts vary depending on the individual hamster's weight and feeding frequency.
