Default What to buy next (popular brands)

I'm almost out of this Ecotrition mix. I've had no issues with it so far. 16% protein, fairly good ingredients, it seems. I normally pick out the corn and toss it, just in case. I also add organic oatmeal, extra organic millet seeds, and a bit of organic flax seeds to the mix and give sunflower or pumpkin seeds as treats in limited amounts (along with some other non-sweet treats).

I was going to switch my hams to Harry / Hazel Hamster next, as it has good reviews here, but then this Organic Ecotrition Mix caught my eye. Any nutrition specialists here who could tell me whether it makes sense to go for one or the other? I'm aware of the dried papaya in the Ecotrition mix, I'd be either giving tiny amounts of it or skip entirely. I'd probably continue picking out the corn bits from either mix as well.

Thanks.

I think I've answered my own question... I'm going to get the Organic Ecotrition mix. It has no BHT, added salt, sunflower seeds and shelled peanuts (that I give separately as treats), flaked peas and kibbled locust beans; but the rest seems there + organic + more ingredients.
