Customers say

Customers praise this hamster food for its variety and palatability, with most reporting their pets eagerly consume the mix and show visible excitement at feeding time. The natural blend of seeds, dried fruits, and pellets—particularly the green-bean shaped pieces—appeals to even picky eaters far more than competitor brands. However, many reviewers note the 13% protein content falls short of the recommended 18% for hamsters, prompting them to supplement with live crickets or lab blocks. Some flag raisins and eucalyptus as potentially harmful ingredients. A smaller group reports serious health concerns including diabetes and illness after switching to this food, though most customers find it worthwhile despite nutritional gaps.

Do not Buy!

Do not buy! After switching to this food ( from a more expensive brand) both of my hamsters have developed tumors on face. I have spent hundreds of dollars at vet trying to help them recover. At first I didn’t make the connection. But as soon as the second hamster developed a tumor on face my husband suggested the food is most likely to blame. It’s the only thing I’ve changed. Apparently hamsters are very susceptible to cancer and carcinogens in food.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Way too low in protein. Cheap filler ingredients

ctgreeneyes78

This is a terrible mix. The 1st 3-4 ingredients are cheap, filler items. The protein is only 13%, when hamsters need at least 18%. There’s barely any seeds for variety. You can buy better food that costs less.

No, I do not recommend this product.

This food is terrible! It killed my hamster less than a week! Please if you have a hamster DO NOT GET THIS! I will never forgive myself for feeding this to my hamster. It causes infections and tumors.

Brought this food for the first time on 5/26/23 and gave it to my hamster the first night. On saturday he started not feeling well and passed today 5/30/23 The only thing that changed was the food i brought him. Could be a coincidence but that is the only thing that changed. He was running around the day before and looked fine. So sad

No, I do not recommend this product.

Causes diabetes

Rewa94

Too much starch, fat, and sugar for a hamster diet giving them a chance to become diabetic which can cause them to get cataracts, glaucoma and a variety of other problems which is exactly what happens to my hamster squishy he now has a cataract in his right eye and is being treated for glaucoma. In short hamsters may love it but it’s not worth it I promise you.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Unfortunately I think this food is causing my hamster to have urinary problems and excessive urinating. I took me awhile to realize that it seemed to start when I switched him to this food, since I’ve switched him back to his other mix he seems to be getting better.

No, I do not recommend this product.

This brand of hamster food + Sunburst = Hamster heaven!! My hammies really enjoy this mix. It has a variety of nutritious foods in which my hammies can choose from. It also smell really nice and fresh. The reason why I give this a 4 star rating is due to the largely sized foods. There's the one that is brown and another that is colored orange. My hamsters usually leave this one behind :( However, my hamsters do tend to love the "green-bean" shaped one!! I also LOVE how there are mealworms which provide protein for them. Overall, I love this mix! Although it may be a bit pricey for some, I'd recommend giving this mix a try!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 8 of 8 Questions

Can mice have this? The white mice 

  1. Yes, they can. I prefer to feed rodent blocks as main nutrition and use grain mix as a treat but this works as a regular diet also. Just check the label and do your research. Depending on the age of your mice and their reproduction state, it might not be appropriate as a complete diet.



How many times a day should I feed a hamster? And what are all of the things they can eat? 

  1. What I would recommend is to give your hamster 1-2 table spoons of healthy seed mix ever 2-3 days. If you give them food every day, they can become very picky eaters and they can become overweight. Hamsters can eat a lot of things so I’m just going to list some of them. Bok choy, broccoli, celery, green beans, endives, parsnips, peas, cooked potato’s, sweet corn, tomato, turnip, spinach, and cabbage. Again this is not all the foods they can eat. In terms or seed mixes I would recommend this one, but there is not much protein in it so you would have to and things to give him or her more protein I would also recommend sunburst seed mix.



Can this be safely given to rats when mixed with other stuff?

  1. There are other suitable rat foods out there, but this food is for hamsters, not rats. 



Can dwarf hamsters eat this?

  1. Yes, this food is for all types of hamsters.



How much protein is in it?

  1. min - 13%



Is this food good for Syrian hamsters? I’m planning on getting one and was wondering if this brand is okay for them :)

  1. This is a great food for all hamsters alike! I used to use the crappy pet food from Kaytee, but now switching to White Mill, I realize it was the best decision I could have made. Unfortunately, you will need to add more protein, so I mixed it with Misuri Rat and Mouse. If you wish to know more about hamsters, I heavily advise you watch Victoria Raechel on YouTube. She provides some great info about hammies like the one you will get, and my sweet Spooky in heaven. 



Can gerbils have this?

  1. Yes! I had the same question and looked online for information. Found out that gerbils can eat mealworms but that crickets are BETTER because there less fat and more protein.



how long does this food last with 1 hamster

  1. So far my bag has lasted going on 5 months
