What kind of veggies should i feed my hamster's?

Question

I have two robo dwarf hamsters. Their both male and share the same cage. I give them one dried banana each every day at 11am. I also have given them a peice of grape each just once. My question is what kind of veggies could i feed my hammies to keep them healthy and happy. I have seen a video of someone feeding their hamster a peice of broccoli (sp) So any help will bre greatly appriciated.

Answer 1

any kind they will eat will be fine!!!!

Answer 2

No lettuce (too watery - causes diarrhoea), avocado or potato.

They love broccoli, carrot, apple etc - but don't give them too much as it can upset their stomachs.  They need mostly special dried hamster food in their diet which contains the protein and fats that they need.

Answer 3

anything really. carrots, apples, lettuce, tomatoes, ect. .. anything really. all veggies are healthy for them.

Answer 4

they can have pretty much any vegetable, but be careful with tomatoes (or are those a fruit? :-)) cause it takes them a while to chew and they can get sores in their mouths from chewing on them and eating too many.

they can have a few fruits too, but not too often cause they're sugary.  

Answer 5

carrots lettuce apples cauliflower

Answer 7

feed him cucumbers, baby carots,and corn

Answer 8

First of all, don't feed them lettuce, because it can give diarrhea, but cabbage is acceptable. No watermelon, again diarrhea. No celery, it's stringy and hard to digest. You can give them pretty much anything else. Even cooked egg is a healthy hamster favorite.  

Answer 9

Carrots are good for their teeth because they help keep them short. NO CITRUS FRUITS!

Answer 11

Just about any veggies. Mine always loved carrots and frozen peas and cooked sweet potatoes. They also loved different baby foods as well as the fresh veggies and fruit I gave them. Just no citrus foods. And you should vary their diet a little bit. Wouldn't you get bored if you ate a piece of banana every single day at the same time.

Answer 12

well my hamsters love carrots and green beans

Answer 13

You can try baby carrots

Answer 14

carrots, apples, lettuce, but not citrus fruits.

Answer 15

A whole banana????????

feed your hamsters a small handfull of carrots, tomatoes, or celery once a day. feed your hamsters a small teaspoon of banana or apple once a week.

Answer 16

Crunchy things such as carrots are good. My hamster seemed to love anything green, such as lettuce and cabbage. I don't really see there being a problem with giving them any kind of vegetables...you will then beable to find out which ones they prefer. Be careful not to give them too much though, especially cucumber. I heard that overfeeding them cucumber can be potentially dangerous, as it contains a lot of water. Not sure how reliable this is though, so maybe you want to google it.
