Will my hamster die from eating an almond?

Question

I just fed my dwarfe hamster, Suki, an almond. She grabbed it and started chewing, and i thought, ''how adorable!'' But then i was like, ''Uh-oh, do almonds kill or harm dwarf hamsters?'' What do you guys think?

Answer 1

Poppy is right. Almonds contain cyanic acid and is not good for the hamster's digestive system. However one almond should not make your hamster very sick, though keep a sharp lookout on her p**p for the next two days and do not give her almonds anymore in the future.

Answer 2

I don't think almonds are lethal to hamsters.  Just keep an eye on her.

Answer 3

Hi! I think Suki should be OK. However, it is not a recommended food for hamsters - Almonds contains Cyanic Acid which isn't good for them. I would just keep on eye Suki and make sure Suki's dietary habits aren't changing, still drinking water, etc. I imagine Suki will be OK with one almond. Here is a list of food that are safe and not safe to eat:
