You didn't alarm at all Socks Mum - views on the topic have always been wide ranging and some hamster owners have had concerns before. There was an issue many years ago with a mix made by a hamster owner, which was for sale commercially, that was very popular, and some hamsters died or had fur loss while on it - it caused a huge issue and the mix isn't sold any more. The person who made the mix was a proponent of lentils in it. I'm not saying it was lentils that caused the issue - it clearly didn't have the right nutritional balance, but while home made mixes might sound healthy and full of variety, they can be problematic.
