Is hamster food with grape seeds safe for my pet? Is it a good diet?

Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 11 days old

Hi, I've been looking for food options for my hamster and I've seen one that seemed very complete, with larvae and everything, but it also contained grape seeds and I'm not sure if it is safe to feed her this food with grape seeds. It was specifically made for hamsters thou... Is it safe? Does it seem like a good mix food for her?

Thanks for reaching out about Emma. This diet appears appropriate from your description. Supplementing with a small amount of fresh vegetables is recommended, but add very slowly as to test Emma's digestive system and not cause upset. Good luck.
