"My dwarf hamster spent his entire life on this food mix. It has the perfect balance of everything he needed. He lived to 2.5 years old and stayed strong to the end thanks to the nutritional values in this mix. Best food ever and my new hamster loves it as well!"

— David

"Just received the hamster food. Poorly packed in too large of a box, no packing material to buffer the contents. Several bags were broken up. Now have seeds on my front patio and in my house from the delivery. Not sure what is going on but had one heck of a time to get this delivery, now this"
