What foods can I give my hamsters?

Question

I want to start giving my hamsters healthy fresh food and not the dry hamster food.

So what human foods can my hamsters eat?

Plus what are some good human foods that make good hamster treats?

Thanks for all your help!

Answer 1

Please don't stop giving them the commerical dry feed mix. 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 him the commercial feed and you are sure to have a healthy hamster for a long time.

You can feed him 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. Take a printout and put in on a board for easy reference.

Answer 5

well i had a hamster and i fed it carrots, lettuce and cheerios.

he really loved the cheerios. (chop up the carrotts and lettuce smaller than the original size so it is easier to eat)

But honestly, i HIGHLY recommend that you do not feed your hamster chocolate...

there are different kinds of treats you can buy at the pet store that is safe for your hamster to eat, but don't feed it a lot of them to it.

hope this helps.

Answer 6

you can give them most veggies make sure its not citrus or any thing you can give them bits of hard boiled egg bread cheese most dairy products two.

Answer 7

Fresh fruits are always good. You should really consider feeding her fresh fruits occasionally, not every time your hamsters eat.

Hamster Food is very good for their health.. so is fruit, but the price also adds up on fruit.

Hamsters LOVE sunflower seeds as treats! This will also tame them. Put your hand out flat, and put the seed in your palm, then open up the gate to your cage, and put your hand  there for a while until your hamster comes.
