Hi there everyone! I very recently got my first hamster (a sunfire djungarian). Her name is Latte! I wanted to make sure my planned diet would be okay for her.

- Versele-Laga Complete Hamster & Gerbil
- Oxbow Western Timothy Hay
- Kaytee Food from the Wild Foraging Blend/Natural Snack
- Healthy Select Millet Snips

My thoughts are to provide the Veresele-Laga in her bowl, along with some hay. Then to scatter some of the foraging blend and a millet snip around her pen / with her toys. That way the "boring" pellets are readily available, and she can be engaged foraging for the more exciting stuff.

I also keep mealworms, and it is my understanding hamsters can eat them. How many/often should I offer them to her? My initial thought is one a week, in her bowl. They are regular sized (not superworms).

And an extra:
- Sunseed Sun Salad Foraging Treat (Guinea Pig); I thought I read "and for hamsters" on the bag, but apparently my mind is playing tricks on me! I was wondering if this would be suitable as long as I removed the bay leaves?

Thank you so much in advance!
