Default Re: Food mixing

Get the teddy junior. It's the one that is actually appropriate for Syrians regardless of age with a far more suitable protein level to start. While the teddy senior is among the better nutritionally of the senior foods Rodipet has, it is still extremely important for hamsters to have plenty of protein especially at such a young age when there's a massive amount of growing and developing to do still!

Also, Rodipet foods as far as the junior mixes(excluding Syrian junior which is fairly low in protein) are complete in terms of nutritional values. Some people might feel the need to add more protein, but that doesn't make them incomplete by any means.

The senior foods however I wouldn't bother with at all especially for such an incredibly young hamster who still has quite a long ways to go in terms of development & growth. In fact, you really wouldn't need the senior foods for a healthy adult(~1 year) either. Even for the genuine seniors it's not necessary with healthy hamsters and can ultimately lead to poor nutrition overall.
