my rodent's diet?

ok I have 4 mice, a guinea pig and a hamster. my guinea pig and hamster stay in the same cage. (yes, dont worry they get along just fine, they have been with each other since they were babies..) I keep 2 of my females in one cage because one of the is pregnant so I keep her with her sister. and I have 2 other mice in another cage, one boy one girl. I feed all of the rodents the same food. this is the food I feed them, hamster mix, rabbit mix, guinea pig mix, mouse mix, lab pellots, black oil seeds, sunflower seeds, mouse treats, guinea pig treats, hamster treats, bird feed, small amounts of dog food, dried up bread, and rabbit treats. I have all of this food mixed up in a big big bag. is this food ok for them? should I add some more stuff? what else can I add for shineyer coats and a healthy feeling and look? what should I stop adding? what can I add for more flavor?

well, if this is what they have been eating and they are doing fine and are healthy…its fine…as far as flavor, they have what they like in all that. They seem to have a viariety of the treats and still what is considered a healthy diet for them.

I am possibly getting a guinea pig today, do you think if I have it share a cage with one of my dwarf hamsters(a male) it would be okk?
