I only changed from RR to another mix (well, mix of mixes

) recently, and I think that's the case for a number of other members too

I think some still use it, but I and I think quite a few others have changed away from it over the last few weeks.
I know the last of ours moved off it the day Geiger got diagnosed with her suspected dietary deficiency.

I've never seen JR Farm... is it sold on Zooplus or PAH??

Yep, I get mine from Zooplus. Unfortunately I have to get my HH and SS from elsewhere. I also got a bag of the JR Farm herbs to supplement with too

I've just ordered some JR farm for hamsters and dwarf hamsters from Zooplus. I'll see about getting some Burgess when I'm near a pet shop. Found out that Sherlock has started loosing weight too so I'm going to do a mix of various commercial mixes and my left over RR. I'll keep supplementing with fresh foods and extra vits/mins and calcium though as I'd rather give them an extra boost for now

Its rather sad that all this is happening.

Until I joined HC I had never even heard of any of these hamster foods. Nor was I aware that special mixes could be made. I've used the same foods for my hammies for decades. I buy Fiesta Max and Denta Bites and mix them in a great big container. The hammies also get a liquid vitamin supplement along with fresh fruit and vegetables several times a week. Since I've never had a problem with this I see no need to change. My hammies seem perfectly happy.
