I've tried a few different foods and settled on Bunny Dwarf Hamster Expert for dwarf hamsters. I find it's the one food where everything gets eaten. I buy it from Zooplus. I think it has too many small seeds to be used alone for a Syrian though.

In terms of homemade Etsy foods, it could be hit and miss. Some might be great and others might be seriously deficient in something. I do mix my own food for my gerbils and would consider doing it for my own hamsters in future, but this is following a huge amount of research, and personally I wouldn't buy homemade foods online when I don't know the individual behind them and how much research they have done or how much knowledge went into formulating the mix. Commercial diets are laboratory analysed to make sure they contain the right nutrients.
