Answer 2

Crackers, fruits, vegetables are fine for hamsters. In fact, it makes them healtheir! It is good to feed them such things. Anything from produce is good for them. They like dairy products as well. Junk food is not good to feed a hamster. Chips, candy, chocolate, and no drinks other than water.

Your hamster won't die at all from eating crackers. It's best not to feed them white crackers, but white ones won't hurt them. It's just they aren't a very healthy cracker.

Want your hamster to live a little longer and a bit healthier? Feed him fruits and vegetables along with his regular food.

He'll be happier and healhier.

It depends on what food you are talking about. Certain fruits and veggies are good but if you feed them greasy french fries then yeah they will probably get sick.

Answer 5

You can feed natural food fit for human consumption like fruits and vegetables and dairy products like milk and cheese. But the cooked type of food that we eat is not good for hamsters due to the added sugar / salt / flavours. Hamsters in the wild are used to eating grains and seeds and you have to stick to similar food for tamed hamsters. Any odd food can upset the hamster's digestive system and cause diarrhea.

Tamed hamsters are also prone to diabetes increasingly due to sugary food being given to them in large amounts. Do not give them anything with added sugar and minimise commercial treats like yoghurt drops which has a lot of sugar in it.
