I accidentally fed my hamsters gerbil food. Will they be okay?
I wasn’t reading the package, but here is what I ended up grabbing off the shelf.

They are dwarf hamsters, if that makes any difference.
Also, would it be okay to continue feeding them this so I can finish the bag?
Don’t worry.
Your hamsters should be fine.
All rodents eat the rodent food, and there are some food packs which are just made for rodents as a mix of gerbil/guinea pig/hamster/rat food.
So, your hammy should be fine, because it ate something healthy.
Hamsters even eat dog and cat food (although I only recommend the dog/cat biscuits), so a rodent food is not a problem.
If the gerbil food you fed it is better than your normal hamster mix (do some research on the web to find out the ingredients, because i can’t see them on here) then you can also feed the hammy the gerbil food.
Don’t worry, your hamster is fine, and will do great as long as you don’t feed it chocolates or cooked hamsters!
lol
EDIT:
It might not be a good idea to continue feeding it to finish the bag.
But yes, you can probably mix the gerbil food with the hamster mix and feed it, in that way your hamster should be safe, and healthy, and will get the right nutrients.

Have a Good Day!
