Locally Available Food Mixes That Are Good For Your Hamster

1. Super Concentrate - OK rin naman pero mostly wheat grains. Limited choices for hamsters but contains no peas or beans. Same specs as Super Conditioner, but agai, more wheat. Average cost: P25/kg
2. Purina Bio 300 / 200 - Best type of feed for all small animals. Balanced content, fortified and in pelleted form. So hindi magiging choosy mga hamsters with this. The only downside is this feed can make your hamsters' poop and pee smell a bit bad due to the vitamins and minerals added to it. Average cost: P27/kg
3. Vitakraft Menu For Hamsters - The MOST popular brand sa mga prestige hamster food. Basically, well-balanced. Very wide variety ng contents and fortified with vitamins and mineral. Also controls the odor of your hamsters' excretions, hence, less odor. Downside is hindi lahat ng hamsters, gusto 'to. Also, recently, masyadong madami yung alfalfa pellets sa packs nila, but the hamsters seem to eat them though. Downside is may mejo malalaking pieces na bilog, which can be difficult for them to gnaw, hence, iniiwan nalang nila. Good for their teeth rin yung gnawing pieces. Average cost: P200/kg
4. Versele-Laga Hamster Crispy - Very rare 'to but mas mura compared sa Vitakraft. Very wide variety, more than Vitakraft actually. Fortified with 9 vitamins and minerals and with odor control plus flora-stimul (good bacteria) for digestion. My hamsters love this pero may mga big pieces na I cut up nalang. Balanced yung mix, alfalfa pellets, nuts, seeds, grains, crunchies, crispies, veggies and fruits. Downside, mejo mahirap hanapin and magastos kasi they tend to hoard this food. Average cost: P150/kg
5. Pet-Link / Jolly Hamster - Eto yung "Chin-chan-soo" ang tawag ko. Brands that come from Hong Kong / Singapore. Balanced variety and merong added treats na rin. May gelatin, biscuits, and dried fruits na kasama as treats. Fortified with Vit. A. Good brand naman and smells good too. Hamsters like this but they tend to leave the split-peas. Walang pellets, purely seeds, grain, nuts lang. Downside, sa Cartimar lang available pero worth trying. Average cost: P120/k
