it might not be their favourite, but i have no other way to communicate with them, so i have to do what i can.

you could try some different food mixes. A lot of people recommend Harry Hamster.
I agree with mangoandmimi though. It's important for them to eat all of the food otherwise they won't have a balanced diet. Just let them finnish the food in their bowl and stashes before you top them up.
Erins animals has a video on picky eaters:
