Tried and tested by Commercial Content Writer Eleanor Weaver, pet parent to Nova: "I've been feeding my Syrian hamster these nuggets for most of her life, and even now, coming up to the age of two, she still enjoys it. I truly believe that this feed has contributed to her living a happy and healthy life as she's never had any digestive issues and her long-hair coat has always been fluffy and healthy, even as it has thinned a little with old age. These are perfectly sized for her to nibble on or carry to her hide in her cheeks, and I've found even just one of these packets goes a long way and lasts a long time!"

Customer review: "This product was recommended to us by a vet and we decided to switch up his food to make sure he’s getting the nutrients he needs. This particular food is very good because it’s top selective eating so you know your little ham is getting the benefit of all the ingredients."

It's packed with mealworms, sunflower seeds, pepper, puffed rice, grapes, and varied gourmet muesli that will provide your hamster with a balanced diet with added vitamins and prebiotics to promote healthy digestion. Many reviewers have found their hamsters gobbled this up by the bowlful without being picky.

Customer review: "I bought this because my daughter wanted to try feeding her hamster mealworms. The mealworms pieces are tiny bits, not as shown on the package, which was a bit disappointing. 400g is also, quite a small bag. But the rest of the seeds and dried fruit and vegetables are ok. Our hamster loves the dried banana."

Our Commercial Writer Eleanor fed this to her Syrian hamster Nova when she first came home: "When I first got my hamster from Pets at Home, I was told that these were the pellets the hamsters were accustomed to eating while in the store. I bought some and took it home, and our Nova certainly enjoyed it over the first month before we switched her to different complete food. Despite switching, I do think that she would have been perfectly happy and healthy continuing to eat these nuggets. They are sized perfectly for little mouths, especially considering the fact she ate it whilst still very young and tiny."

Customer review: "Very good value for money, used this hamster food for about four years ever since I got my first hamster who lived to two years and 10 months of age. This food has 18 per cent protein which is what you have to look out for when looking at hamster food."

Kaytee's timothy hay provides the nutrition your hamster needs and desires, with the highest quality. It's a great source of high fibre to get their digestive systems moving along healthily.

Customer review: "It is softer than many of the meadow hay brands available and is less straw like and more grass-like, containing a much larger proportion of the dried flowering heads of the meadow grass, than other brands, which seem to be mostly stalk."

These Kaytee cubes are similar to the timothy hay bale, but their convenient size makes them perfect for encouraging activity play in mazes and log treats. The lower protein and calcium supports urinary health, and this is ideal as a natural treat and a high fibre source that complements their usual complete food.

Customer review: "A pack like this goes a long way as you only need a tiny bit every now and then. I left a little cube in the cage for him to nibble on. It also give a nice natural smell."

Tried and tested by Commercial Content Writer Eleanor Weaver, pet parent to Nova: "My Syrian hamster Nova adores these treats and when I give these to her, I often bury it in her floor bedding or in her hide for her to seek out and find - it really doesn't take long. They're quite large in size, but my hamster carries it back to her nest every time, and by the time I tidy her cage it's always completely gone. This is a good treat to provide not too regularly as it lasts them a while."

Tried and tested by Commercial Content Writer Eleanor Weaver, pet parent to Nova: "This was something I bought on a whim to encourage more veg into my hamster's diet - I don't often have fresh veg available in my fridge, other than carrots, and didn't want her to miss out on a range of other vegetables. Getting dried veg is a great alternative and my hamster loved these dried beetroot and parsnip bits. I usually sprinkle these in with her complete food every now and again as a healthy treat."

Tried and tested by Commercial Content Writer Eleanor Weaver, pet parent to Nova: "My hamster absolutely loved these and I loved to watch her eat them! Just seeing my hamster's tiny paws grip on to this doughnut treat was adorable. These doughnuts are quite large for hamsters, but it makes for a great long-lasting treat that my hamster nibbled to pass the time, and then carried back to her nest when it was smaller in size. I've bought these a few times and they've always been great quality and consistently shaped."
