Re: Food mixing
It's not just about the crude protein. As far as macronutrients like protein and fat go, there's probably a lot of flexibility.
I like to always give some animal protein due to the various micronutrients (known, and theoretically, unknown) and amino acids which are more available or only available from animal foods. We don't know much about hamster nutrition so we don't know which of those nutrients they actually require but to cover all bases, I think it's good to provide animal protein. Rodipet foods are also formulated with the assumption that you will be feeding animal protein.
