  1. WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE UR HAMSTER:

    -raw beans

    -tomatoes

    -garlic,

    -onions

    -chocolate

    -any sugary or salty foods

    -any junk food

    WHAT YOU SHOULD:

    -fresh veggies and fruits

    -some may take small pieces of cooked chicken

    -some may take yogurt


  2. Some of these answers may come off as a joke, but being serious....

    1.) What you should avoid...

    Avoid Alcoholic Beverages.

    Alcohol can kill your pet hamster very quickly. You should not even try to give it a couple of drops of alcohol "just as a joke." This is very serious, and if you love your pet, you will avoid alcohol at all costs.

    Avoid Pickles.

    Pickles are yet another killer of hamsters. Actually, anything vinegar-based, such as pickles, will cause your hamster to suffer a quick death.

    Avoid Sticky Candy.

    Gum, gumballs, toffees, and caramels should all be avoided. These can stick in the hamster's pouch causing drooling, but can also get stuck in the throat and cause suffocation. Avoid Hard Candy.

    Such as lollipops, hot fireballs, sourballs etc. These can get lodged in your hamster's throat and cause suffocation.

    Avoid food that may have been touched by other animals.

    Any food that may have been touched by other animals, such as dogs or cats, or any food that has been left out uncovered should not be given to your hamster. Food touched by other animals may have been urinated on, which is poisonous to your hamster. Food left uncovered can have bacteria on it that can cause your hamster to get sick.

    Avoid Cheeses.

    Although cheese is a good source of protein, and your hamster will gobble it up quickly, it can lead to very smelly f***s being left in the cage. This will cause you to have to clean the cage more frequently.

    Avoid Citrus Fruits.

    Although hamsters love fruits and vegetables, citrus fruits such as oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, lemons and lime, should all be avoided. Citrus fruits contain citric acid, which can make your hamster very ill or worse. Do Not Feed Your Hamster Foods that are meant for other animals.

    2. Besides their regular diet you can give your hamster an occasional treat.   Here are some examples :

    Fruits like apple, grapes, pear, prunes and banana

    Fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumber, peas, sweetcorn, broccoli, cauliflower

    Raisins

    Cereals (breakfast)

    Nuts

    Eggs

    Yogurt

    Dog biscuits

    -Hope this helps you out a little! Good-luck with everything,

  3. NO peanut butter, will get stuck in their mouth.  My hamster loves carrots, celery - the tops.  His favorite is dried apple and broccoli.  He also likes regular apples, bananas (but only give a very little or your hamster will get diarrhea) about the size of the tip of you finger.  Also like cookies - NO chocolate chips though.  I would not give it raisins, when I did my hamster's back turned reddish.  Guess he was allergic or something but its only when he had raisins.  They love the yogurt  drops you can buy in the pet section.  Also the treat sticks for birds - just make sure they are not the ones with plastic or twist ties on them.  Mine likes the honey ones, but don't give your hamster just plain honey. Again it will get stuck in his mouth.
