I recently noticed at my local petstore that I couldn't find the brand Hazel Hamster anywhere! So I asked a petstore employee if they had any in stock, she told me the brand had recently changed their packaging, I was so surprised how different the packaging had looked! Here's a picture of what it looks like:

The nutrition has changed a little, and is no longer suitable by itself, but mixed with some lab blocks and some sort of mix with high variety, it's just as suitable as before.

I noticed this with the UK's Harry Hamster! Same new packaging design! It seems as though some company has taken over the old one. Lets hope they don't change the ingredients/nutritional value...

They did which was quite disappointing. 

 

Old:

Crude Protein: 18.0%

Crude Fat: 5.0%

Crude Fiber: 9.0%

 

New: 

Crude Protein: 16.0%

Crude Fat: 4.0%

Crude Fiber: 8.0%

 

I am not too sure why they lowered these numbers, it would be interesting to know why. I had some of the old packaging and I had mixed it with the new packaging once I found out they changed the numbers, but my Syrian still enjoys the food.

Hmm...I don't think they've changed it in the UK(yet)....

Hmm, guess not. I don't live in the UK, I live in the United States.

Might be something with the new manufacturing company, Tiny Friends Farm. Although I am not too sure why they lowered the guaranteed analysis, it's quite disappointing.
