Review: One of the healthiest hamster and gerbil foods you can buy! - 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 desertcart as an add-on and paid whatever full price was at the time.
Review: Great hamster food - good！ The ingredients look good, and the food smells fresh when you open the bag. My hamster enjoys eating it and seems to especially like the variety of different pieces. I also like that it doesn’t contain too many unnecessary fillers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by C***3 on August 13, 2025*

Best food i have ever fed my Gerbil. She eats all of it and is a great healthy option without all the needed fats. Very fresh and has a nice reseal. Exactly as shown. For one Gerbil i would guess it would last around 2 or 3 months (First time buying so not too sure, but definitely lasts).
