Best dwarfhamster food

[Veer]

I m looking for the beat diet for a Russian or Chinese dwarfhamster.
I have been feeding Bunny, but my previous hamsters were very selective with it, and it has low protein.
This is a Dutch webshop with lots of the available foods.

I was thinking Mixerema, but which one? And it is not fortified with vitamins. I wonder if that is a good or bad thing, in nature hamsters do not use supplements.
What is your opinion on natural fiets without added vitamins?

What do you think is the best food for a dwarf and why?

I think Mixerama is an excellent choice and the dwarf magic mix seems very good. It only has 15.6% protein but then so does bunny dream.

I don’t think they do contain fortified vitamins so what some people do is give 2 or 3 science selective pellets daily as well, which contain everything needed.

I’m using Mixerama for Higgins.

I think this one also looks good, it has higher protein:

is it needed to add something with fortified vitamins? i mean, wild hamsters do only eat natural stuff without added vitamins.
don't you think a natural diet can provide everything they need?

also, what do you use for taming snacks? i always used mealworms, but maybe there are healthier options that they also go nuts for?

Hmm - it seems to be grain free and just mainly have seeds and animal protein? It has silkworm pupae, dried shrimps and crickets. So a lot of things for protein that the hamster might or might not eat.

I personally would prefer the Mixerama. And no you can’t guarantee they get everything they need from these natural mixes - especially if they ignore some ingredients. Hence suggesting adding a few science selective pellets which do contains vitamins and correct protein levels. .

Could i freeze the science selective food? I think the bag would last very long when only feeding 3 pellets daily.

Yes I’ve frozen it . The bags have a very long shelf life usually and mine have usually gone out of date before finished - about two years later!
