Feeding fresh food to hamsters

Question

My dwarf hamster loves grapes and baby carrots. Lately I've been giving her one of each every day in addition to her regular food. I've only had her one week and I am trying different fresh foods to give her variety and find out which are her favorites, but is it okay to give her the favorites every day?

Answer 1

carrots and grapes are sugary fresh foods, so i would just give her a little piece everyday along with something healthier like leafy greens

Answer 2

Like the other poster said, try and stay away from the fresh fruits that have a lot of sugar in them.

I have six gerbils and I give them a small piece of grape a couple times a week.

Answer 3

   Try to stay away from foods with high sugar content. Your dwarf hamster can get diabetes. Not a fun thing.

   Also, feeding too much fresh fruits and veggies can cause diarrhea. Try limiting it to maybe twice a week.
