    Any sort of fruits, but nothing sour

    Toast, bread

  3. Congragulations on your new hamster.

    The best food for hamsters is only the commercial hamster feed mix available in the pet shops. Hamsters need variety in their diet and the best way to do it is to get the commercial hamster feed that contains all the vitamins and minerals that your hamster requires. Give her the commercial feed and you are sure to have a healthy hamster for a long time.

    You can feed her treats occassionally.However, the commercial hamster mix should account for 80% of the hamster daily diet and only 20% should come from treats.

    Also remember any treat you give him should be unsalted, without sugar and without flavour. Visit the following link for a list of foods you can and not give a hamster.

    Some healthy treats for hamsters are -

    Bread

    Skimmed Milk

    Bits of cheese

    Bits of hard boiled egg

    Bran flakes

    Carrots

    As regarding age, it is very difficult to guess the age of the hamster from the way she looks. Since you have just got her and pet stores do not sell hamsters less than 6 weeks old, she should probably be betwen 6-8 weeks old. Why not call up the pet shop you picked her from and ask them, they would have a more accurate record of her age.

  4. 1) Lettuce

    2) Oats

    3) Dry Catfood

    4) Bread 'n milk (for mothers-to-be)

    5) Broccoli

    6) Apple

    7) Peanut Butter (mine seem to prefer creamy)

    8) Shredded Cheese

    9) Tomatoes

    10) Carrots

    11) Corn

    12) Dog Biscuits

    13) Cooked meat (make sure it is cool)

    14) Yogurt (avoid yogurt with sugar)

    15) Berries (make sure they're well-washed)

    16) Pumpkin (without the seeds)

    WARNING: Several other types of vegetables and fruit can be given to your hamster, but be careful! Always choose healthy, clean fruits and veggies. Avoid oranges and other citric fruits. They are high in acidity and can cause problems. Also, don't overfeed green vegetables (such as lettuce, celery, etc.) because they will cause stomach upset. Feeding greens once a week is ample. Never feed anything sharp, sticky, or sugary. CAUTION: Avoid any types of sugary foods. Dwarf hamsters are very susceptible to diabetes. Other than that, your hamster will thrive on his/her new favorite snacks!

    Hope this helped!

  5. My daughter has a hamster. We feed him food from the pet store. We looked up what their favorite treats are on google. He loves carrots,apples,and celery. The pet store should be able to tell you how old the hamster is. If they can't you could get him seen by a vet and they may be able to tell you.

    He also loves seeds and dehydrated fruits
