Hamsters will generally eat anything. From collared greens, to lean meat and fish, their diet is really only restricted by what you feed it. Generally stay with the store bought mixtures, as they tend to provide the required proteins and minerals your pet needs to remain healthy. Use other foods only as a supplement to your pet's primary diet. Be absolutely certain to never, under any circumstances, give the following foods and/or liquids to your pet, as they can cause your pet to get very ill, or even kill it.
- Almonds (Contains Cyanic Acid)
- Apple Seeds
- Canned food
- Chocolate
- Candies
- Chips and Junk food
- Pork Products
- Potatoes (Raw)
- Raw Kidney Beans
- Eggplant
- Fool's Parsley
- Grape Seeds
- Avocado (Contains Cardiac Glycosides)
- Raw Rhubarb
- Tomato leaves
- Oranges or Tangerines(no citrus fruits)
- No watermelon (the water content is high causes diarrhea)
- Cherry Stone
- Peach Stone & Leaves
- Apricot Stone
- Lemon or Lime
- Jams and jellies
- Spices
- Garlic
- Onions
- Leeks
- Scallions
- Chives
- Pickles
PS. I hope everyone is well aware that it would be very very foolish to let your hamham drink alcoholic beverage drinks right? Rabbit food is not also advisable for your hamsters. One thing to keep in mind is that just because your hamster CAN eat almost anything, doesn't mean that it SHOULD. Meats and fish, although readily accepted by hamsters, can be a source of harmful bacteria that can make your pet ill. For the most part, it's best that you stick with the store bought mixtures.
