feeding hamsters mazuri 6f?

[ch312]

i searched the net but couldnt find anything. i am going to start breeding dwarf hamsters to make extra money to buy another ball im getting almost 20 of them for free and i already have tanks for them so all i gotta pay for is food and bedding. i have a buyer who is going to purchase minimum 20 of them per week...

i compared the mazuri 6f to their hamster diet and the protein in their hamster diet is 22% vs the 6f at 16%. is this a big deal?

would i run into problems feeding them 6f or should i use a hamster specific diet? use 6f and supplement with something else?

Yes, hamsters need a higher protein diet. Mazuri make a hamster diet, and also their generic Rodent diet would do better for hamsters than the rat diet.
