Guessing you're based in the US or Canada by the Higgins Sunburst? In that case the proper diet in the US & Canada is not going to include Sunburst - Higgins Vita Garden is the proper diet in that situation, with added Pure Bites freeze dried chicken/turkey/shrimp(or another of their safe protein options, but you could also occasionally switch things up with boiled egg for example or another high quality animal protein source).

Pelleted diets aren't really appropriate as the main diet. They don't offer a high enough enrichment value and they're not really allowing natural foraging behaviors, something you honestly cannot replicate with pelleted foods especially when they're the main diet.
