## Description

Higgins Vita Garden Hamster & Gerbil Food, 2.5 Lbs, LargeEnriched With Dha, Balanced With Omega Fatty Acids As Well As Digestive ProbioticsNo Artificial Colors Or Preservatives

Review: My robo loves this seed mix! - Great hamster seed mix! My robo is a picky eater and historically has refused to eat some of the more nutritious bits from his seed mix. Since switching to this food, he eats almost everything in the mix, and the only bits he leaves behind now are the pieces of corn (which are just filler anyways) and sunflower seeds (which are more of a treat). He seems to love the rest of this mix! I'm so glad I've finally found a good quality, healthy seed mix for him that he actually enjoys eating. Keep in mind that this mix alone does not have enough protein for a hamster's complete diet and should be supplemented with a high-protein lab block like the Mazuri rat and mouse lab blocks.
Review: One of the best hamster foods on the market. - One of, if not the best hamster food on the market. He loves it too.
