Supreme Tiny Friends Farm Harry Hamster Tasty Mix

A hamster left with a full bowl will sort through it and eat its favourites first, which is one reason a measured daily amount matters more with a small rodent than it does with most pets — too much choice left out overnight tends to mean waste rather than a balanced diet.

Tiny Friends Farm's Harry Hamster Tasty Mix is a complete food made from extruded wheat, soya bean meal, toasted wheat, flaked peas, alfalfa meal, whole and flaked maize, sunflower seeds, peanut kernels and shells, pumpkin seeds, soya bean hulls, soya oil, wheat feed and extruded locust beans, and may contain genetically modified soya and traces of nuts. It comes in a 700G bag. Protein is 18%, crude fibre 6%, fat content 6%, inorganic matter (ash) 5%, calcium 0.8% and phosphorus 0.6%. The maker's guide is 5-10g a day for an average adult hamster, with fresh water always available.

What the pack doesn't say. This mix contains wheat, soya and maize, so it's not grain free, and may contain traces of nuts — worth knowing if another pet in the house has a nut allergy of its own that you're managing around.

Who it's for: hamster owners who want a complete mix with a stated daily amount rather than guessing a portion by eye.
