This is not suitable for hamsters or gerbils please DO NOT feed them it. It has hay, which is VERY bad for them

No, I do not recommend this product.

I have used this food for my gerbil’s whole life and they are so happy with it. Don’t worry about the ai science stuff.

Hay is not for hamsters

Hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats DO NOT eat hay. It provides zero nutritional content and strains their digestive system. Please reformulate or pull this product. Petsmart feeds their hamsters this product. I bought my hamster from their store, who was primarily fed this product, and her stools were 1/2 inch long, fibrous, wet and green. I got her on a normal diet and within a few days her stools returned to normal (small, round, hard, brown). Selling this product on such a large scale is incredibly irresponsible and cruel.

This food is based off of Timothy hay which has been proven to not be appropriate for hamsters and gerbils. While they can digest the hay, it moves through their system too fast for nutrients to be absorbed leading to malnutrition

i would mix it in with a couple spoons of small animal food mix and add one of these pellets per animal. its a good way to supplement their nutrients but if they eat only this and nothing else it can cause health issues.

No, I do not recommend this product.
