Harrington's Hamster Food

[BrainGirl]

I was wondering if anyone has tried Harrington's hamster pellets. It's made in Yorkshire and I just found it at a local store here in Canada! The packaging is nice but is the product any good?

Never mind! I happened to be at the same store again and looked for the food but it was sold out. Since this is the only place that carries it I think I'm better off feeding my guy a readily available mix even if it might be slightly inferior to Harrington's

Hi, I just thought I should give some information about Harrington's since I bought it recently and came across this thread after searching for it on this forum. If you'd like to know more about the ingredients & what the packaging looks like, you can find it here: Harringtons Optimum Hamster & Gerbil Food

I actually bought this thinking is was a mix, so I was quite shocked to find little green pellets (each about half the size of a single Syrian poop :P). It doesn't don't look to be artificially coloured, and almost smells like hay.

It isn't my hamster's favourite, because I feed him other mixes as well for variety. When he selects his food, he leaves them out... But since they somehow disappear from his foodbowl afterwards, I guess he eats them as well.
