Re: Best food mix for Chinese?
Ideally you want a dwarf mix for a chinese ham as they do seem to do better with the smaller pieces & they are free of sugar or fruit so safer for a diabetes prone species.
Burgess dwarf hamster harvest is quite a popular one along with Bunny Dwarf HamsterDream Basic & JR Farm Feast for Dwarf Hamsters from Zooplus.
No hamster mix contains all the protein they require so it is good to try & supplement with some added protein foods, mealworms, shrimps, a little cooked chicken, tiny pieces of cheese, scrambled egg or a little piece of good quality cat kibble are all things they usually take too, it doesn't have to be much, a couple of mealworms a day or some of the other options just once or twice a week should be enough, I also feed my some extra hemp seed which they love & has good protein levels as well as some healthy oils for a nice shiny coat!
You might find this thread helpful as we had a bit of a discussion on the dwarf mixes there Being Picky
