Personally I wouldn't feed them. One, they are lighter weight than you think and I would bet half that is pelt. They are mean, nasty, smaller litters and slower to grow.

If you really don't want to raise them at home I would either buy locally frozen or, last resort, order online.
As for a nutrition chart....

but it doesn' t list dwarfs....just regular hamsters.
