Answer 2

yes.

Answer 3

yes. Dwarf hamsters LOVE veggies. It's important to have a varied diet for you hamster to keep them happy and entertained! Daily you should feed your hamster mixed grain feed or green feed and a piece of fruit. Every 2-3 days you should give them (a small piece of ) meat, (1/2 teaspoon) of yogurt, or (1/2 teaspoon) of cottage cheese. Once a week give him branches for gnawing or half a dog biscuit.

DO NOT FEED: Almonds, red beans, potato sprouts, green parts of potatoes or tomatoes, fool's parsley, poison hemlock, laburnum, autumn crocus, or anything cooked or roasted.

Answer 4

Not raw.  Too much starch.  Bake in oven for 45 mins and smear it on him for most enjoyment.
