Just finished updating the food mix article from the home page, after a few people have been asking about mixes in the US and elsewhere, so it's easy to link for people if they ask about food mix options. I've also updated it with some affiliate links, so if you happen to use any of the hamster food on the list, it would help if you could buy it from one of the links 
As it would give a small commission towards running costs, without costing you anything. There is a choice of links but obviously if you can find it somewhere cheaper than do so!
I also noticed that Chewy.com in the US sells the Bunny Dream mixes for both Syrians and Dwarf hamsters, which is great, because they are a much better choice than other commercial mixes in the US, and it means there is a good dwarf specific mix available in the US as well.
I didn't add any of the Getzoo mixes, simply because they don't publish the nutritional values and protein levels on the web page. It's probably on the back of the packet but not viewable on the photo on the web page. Although they have a reputation for being good mixes, and the ingredients are listed, there is still a need to know protein levels and other levels to work out if they need supplementing or not. So unless or until I actually buy some bags, I've left them off. It's also quite expensive to get their food shipped from Germany, when there are other options like Mixerama available in the Uk.
