Hamster Central - View Single Post - Kaytee Forti-Diet Pro Health Mouse, Rat & Hamster Food? Thoughts?

Hello!

I was going to get a hamster from a breeder in a few months, but happened upon a for sale ad for a Syrian and a teddy bear hamster in our area, and have decided to rehome one of them instead of getting a younger one from a breeder. They are three months old, and currently on the Kaytee pellets.

I'm especially bad at figuring out diets (mine, or any of our animals), and don't have a real clue as to what our hamster should eat long-term (obviously, we'll have to either keep him on his current diet or slowly switch to a healthier one). Is this food good to keep him on, or should we get him something else as the staple of his diet? Any help would be much appreciated!

Oh--and if anyone has any advice on switching hamsters to different diets, that would be awesome as well.
