Hamster Central - View Single Post - A good hamster food mix in the uk for once?

So until now I have been using Harry Hamster for Syrians which I believe is fine, but I don’t like all the artificially coloured pellets and lack of variety. I looked into other mixes, but I just couldn’t find any in the UK that had the right percentages, even when mixed with other hamster foods, until I found that if you mix 50% bunny hamster dream food (not dwarf one) with 50% sunseed critter cubes, it is within the nutritional percentage guide lines. You can find these mixes fairly cheap online at vetsend and amazon. I have just ordered them so I haven’t actually tried it out yet, but this could be the new Higgins & Mazuri combo, but the british version lol.

This the nutritional analysis:
Protein - 18.5%
Fat - 5.75%
Fibre - 6.25%

I know fibre is a little low, even though it is over the 6% minimum, if anyone knows what I can add to bring this up a little I will be very thankful

If anyone else from the UK has a simple enough Syrian hamster mix they recommend, please leave it in a reply!
