Default Re: Are these good foods?

The proper diet for any hamster species in the US & Canada is Higgins Vita Garden(not Sunburst which has dried fruits added).

I would stay far away from Kaytee foods due to very poor quality ingredients. The food from Walmart linked doesn't even have an ingredient list which is concerning, so I wouldn't recommend that one either. The second food listed seems fairly mediocre - not the worst food I've seen but you can do better. As far as the Versele Laga goes, Versele Laga in general often have multiple vague ingredients(which remains true in this case too) so I would go with a higher quality food instead.

Ultimately, the best option you're going to have is the Higgins Vita Garden. No vague ingredients, no artificial dyes, no added sugar, no dried fruit. You can boost the protein of that with Pure Bites but I would recommend rotating a variety of those rather than just using one specific protein source to get more nutritional value & variety.
