Identifying grasses

Could someone help me to identify these grasses please?

I don’t want to feed my young man something unless I know what it is and that it’s safe, but I’m a city boy and know little about these things. I think the one on the left is flax and on the right it’s some kind of red millet(?).

They don’t look like the greatest quality but it’s the only pack of sprays that I’ve been able to find

Yes, flax on the left, along with some other grasses, and on the right is sorghum. Both safe to feed. I'm not sure of the one in the middle but I'm sure it's all safe to feed as Rosewood is a good brand. Lots of people use Rosewood Pick n Fly without any issues.

My hamsters like those and i buy them quite regularly.
The only alternative i can think of are the Rodipet ones.

They are very good for the price, otherwise you are looking at places like etssy for small independent businesses.

There are also many that I have come across from being on Instagram, the only one I can personally recommend at the moment is Oakwood Forest as that is the only one I have used, very good quality and you can choose from a variety of sprays but if you are on a budget and just don't want to spend a lot the one you bought is absolutely fine for your hamster.
