Accepted Answer

Rodent blocks are specifically formulated to provide a balanced diet for hamsters and gerbils, containing all the necessary nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Sunflower seeds, sweetened trail mix, and unshelled peanuts should be given in moderation as occasional treats, as they are high in fat and can lead to obesity and other health issues if overfed.
