Oxbow has the best and highest quality products for small animals. I would use them. https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=oxbow+hamster+treats&crid=3T6HOVJLD89VW&sprefix=oxbow+hamster%2Caps%2C159&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_6_13 I am not familiar with the Living World brand as we don't have that here in the U.S. so it is difficult for me to comment on that.

Yes, there is. I would recommend Oxbow Critical Care for Herbivores: http://www.oxbowanimalhealth.com/vets/products/critical_care There are good instructions on the label on how much to feed and how to mix it up. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you and Geri.
Do not use an aquarium tank. A suitably sized (and secure) wire cage with a solid bottom is recommended. HabiTrail and Kaytee have excellent choices for cages. Buy the largest cage you can afford and fit in the chosen space. You can use recycled paper bedding such as CareFresh or Yesterday's News. Aspen shavings or pellets are also acceptable. Do not use pine or cedar shavings as these can be irritating. A commercial diet from Kaytee or VitaKraft can be fed from a ceramic bowl. A ceramic bowl prevents gnawing and tipping. A non chewable water bottle can be hung to provide fresh water daily. Other necessary items include chew toys and an exercise wheel. Find a veterinarian experienced in treating pocket pets and have your new addition examined to confirm good health. Feed, water and exercise daily. Clean the cage weekly. These little guys require very little care and can provide lots of entertainment. Congrats and enjoy!
There is commercial gerbil food available at the pet store, they also need a water bottle and a warm enough environment. Their cage needs to be cleaned about twice a week at least and food needs to be provided twice a day.
Since you have many questions about Oxbow supplements, the best advice I can give you is to contact Oxbow who can give you the best information about their products. Here is contact information: http://www.oxbowanimalhealth.com/ http://oxbowanimalhealth.com/contact
