This is a very healthy, balanced hamster or gerbil food! I have had hamsters in my life since I was a baby (33 years ago!), and just recently decided to take on a pair of crazy gerbils so that my kids could also experience the joys of having "pocket pets" in their lives! :) This is definitely one of the best gerbil foods that you can buy! This food contains 15% protein, 4.5% fat and 10-15% fiber. The main ingredients are timothy grass, pearled barley, oats, flax seed and vitamins and minerals. It does not contain a bunch of cheap fillers like corn or fatty seeds.Our gerbils have been eating this since they were just babies and they both have healthy, shiny coats, bright eyes and plenty of energy! Aside from an occasional treat, this is their main diet and I feel good about feeding it to them because it provides complete nutrition. Our gerbils seem to love it - they will take a piece right out of your hand - but if your pet has not been raised on this, you might have to slowly acclimate them to the new food by introducing it gradually.I am very happy with this food for my gerbils, and will absolutely continue to buy it in the future.I purchased this food directly from Amazon as an add-on and paid whatever full price was at the time.

We use this food on the regular for our tiny dwarf hamster. So far it has kept her nourished and happy for 1 year! We only supplement her diet occasionally when we are running low, or just to add a little variety. But this is her staple food and she loves it! We buy it in bulk and it lasts a long time.

Very green, very fresh smelling hamster food. A good staple nugget with complete vitamin nutrition and no added sugars I feed mixed with forage and seed mix diets to make sure my hams get their basics. Unlike other brands of pellet or seed mix, I have never had problems with this hamster food arriving stale or bug infested.

The other Oxbow kibbles that are labeled as being formulated for mice are not appropriate for mice, since the kibbles are so huge. Also my mice do not accept the formula as food, they would not even nibble on the other Oxbow Mouse/Young Rat kibbles. These kibbles are a different formula, I just wanted to point out that I've already tried the other Oxbow formulas, that are specifically for mice. The Oxbow Mouse formulas are huge and do not attract my mice and they're not suitable.That said - this is not the same formula. These Oxbow kibbles may be formulated for gerbils and hamsters, but my mice eagerly take them as both treats and as feed. The kibbles are small enough for a mouse to carry it in its mouth. The size is about 1/4 the size of the mouse's head. The kibbles are not flake like but they are more shaped in the form of a doughnut or a "Cheerio."I am able to break most of the kibbles in half with my fingers, to feed them by hand. Also their stool seems much more solid and healthier after being fed on these kibbles. They're gaining weight. They do not get tired of eating these kibbles.I would like Oxbow to produce a dedicated mouse chow that has appropriate sized kibbles and formulated specifically for mice, and that mice are eager for; till then this is a really great substitute.Four stars (as a mouse chow that is). If this were a specific mouse chow I would give it five stars. The kibbles could be a tad smaller for mice, but they're still acceptable, the mice can easily take it in their jaws and carry it away to a corner for consumption.Thanks Oxbow.

Our Syrian hamster likes this food. He was showing signs of nutrient deficiency and eating his bedding, and I noticed that he was not eating the pellets in his food mix but was eating everything else. I bought these and he is definitely eating them. Should help with his nutrition.

À la maison j'ai 4 gerbeilles, 2 hamster. Ça me revenait cher d'acheter un petit sac à l'animalerie. Avec ce grand format je suis comblé en plus il se referme grâce à une fermeture style Ziploc.

Awesome hamster food. I have been buying this for my lil guy for nearly two years now. Best hamster food for a long healthy life as it prevents selective eating which ensures proper nutrition.
