The proper diet in the US is Higgins Vita Garden, not Sunburst(which has lots of dried fruit that isn't good for hamsters regardless of species as they generally wouldn't naturally be eating much fruit).

The things I would definitely add to Higgins Vita Garden to make it an even better and more balanced food overall are Pure Bites freeze dried chicken/turkey/shrimp(shrimp being ideal for a lean protein source), as well as flax seeds which are great for adding healthy fats to the diet. Flax seeds are also very good for maintaining a healthy coat!
