Review: Amazing - Best food i have ever fed my Gerbil. She eats all of it and is a great healthy option without all the needed fats. Very fresh and has a nice reseal. Exactly as shown. For one Gerbil i would guess it would last around 2 or 3 months (First time buying so not too sure, but definitely lasts).
Review: Good product for my hamster - My hamster loves this Brand and this is the only Brandon I use for my hamster. It’s healthy for the hamsters and other small animals are well. The size is is average however it’s only half fool which is a number. My hamster health is great due to this product and I noticed that her fur is more softer. The color is green and it looks like a cheerio! When it gets wet it doesn’t soak up which is good when the water is dripping after my hamster uses it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healthy donuts for your little friend
*by D***H on May 19, 2025*

We have ordered this many times now. It seems to be the food of choice, minus lettuce, for the S'more's, our Hamster. She will eat other things, but this is what she prefers which is nice, because I feel it gives her a well balanced diet. On a side note, my son enjoys watching her eat them because it make it look like she is eating donuts.
