Versele Laga Crispy Muesli Hamster & co. food for gerbils?

[catnut]

I was given this food for my older boys this week and wanted to see if others' feed or know if this is a good food to give my boys? I looked up reviews and will look up more- i would give it more as a treat than food as they have their Hagen original and they love that, most the seeds seem okay but maybe can pick out the coloured ones? I don't like giving them food that is dyed or not as healthy. Thanks for any feedback.

Sorry - missed this.

I have not seen this one but their other foods that I used to buy a lot changed last year to contain extruded blobs rather than all the mixed seeds - and since then it hasn't stayed popular with my critters at all.

It might have been popular with their ingredients budget - but not with my animals. I no longer buy my usual Versele Laga foods as it was now wasted.

It isn't the only food - I find that most foods I feed have the pelleted or extruded parts left until last - or left full stop. Shame really as these are the parts that are supposed to contain all the essential nutrients in those foods. Hmm?

However, I will look this one up - just incase it is all seeds again.
