Do you know that hamsters are opportunists. They eat what they can get at that point in time. They also like variety...just like anything else.
I wouldn't give them a whole dog bone, just small peices of kibble as treats. Chicken is the best meat to give them. You can give them pork, beef and fish as well, but it's not recommended. Just give them a small peice of chicken when you have some.
Meats are a subject of contention among hamster lovers. Some people feel that feeding meat to hamsters contributes to the tendency toward cannibalism. Other people believe that there is no correlation between feeding meat to hamsters and their tendency to eat their young in overcrowded conditions.
One thing is certain, though, your hamsters will need a source of protein. So if you choose not to feed them meat, then supply them with enough mealworms or insects for their protein needs. And make sure that if you do feed them meat, that it is beef, mutton, lamb, poultry and never pork or any pork products (which could make them very ill).
