The first one does have too much fruit as Cypher says (ie high in sugars and also the fruit is likely full of preservatives if dried). The odd bit of fresh fruit is ok to give as a treat - eg a bit of apple or a blueberry but I steer clear of the dried fruit is it's so full of sugar and preservatives.

The second one - not sure - it doesn't seem to have a lot of variety of ingredients. The protein level sounds fine but it's badly spelled/translated so not sure what some things are! Probably millet?

To be honest I would stick with a known brand and what you are using now is fine. The Versele Laga and Mazuri. Which country are you in and how old is your hamster/species? Protein levels don't need to be as high when they are over a year old. And dwarf hamsters (other than Robos) need a mix without sugar/added sugar.
