Feeding your Hamster.           Hamsters need a varied diet. As well as their regular hamster mix, they need fresh vegatables and they also need some form of protiens. They are omnivorous animals which mean they eat meat. Here is a list of some of the fresh food that you can feed your hamster. apples avocado (skinned and seedless) bananas broccoli small amounts of cabbage mixture of grated carrots and apple carrots cabbage - in small amounts. cauliflower chicory corgettes (zucchini) corn on the cob pears melon mango butternut squash cooked potatoes (no skins) kidney beans (cooked) swede mange tout grapes (with seeds removed) sweet corn squash mushrooms rhubarb (cooked) monkey nuts hazel nuts brazil nuts mozzarella cheese tinned tuna fish sweet corn tomatos peppers, any colour(remove seeds) walnuts hazel nuts monkey nuts brazil nuts wheatgerm millet Trill (bird seed)           There are other foods that you can give, such as cooked Chicken (no salt or herbs), baby food in a jar, dog biscuits,  timothy hay, puppy food (biscuits), kitten food(biscuits). In the wild they would eat things like small bugs, and people have been known to feed them mealworms and crickets.           These foods must be avoided at all times. kidney beans (raw) onion potato (raw) rhubarb (raw and leaves) tomato (leaves) chocolate lettuce                     If anybody has anymore foods they can think of can they e-mail me with them, thanks.              It is vitally important that when introdcing new foods that its done gradually, as it can cause your hasmter to have diarrhoea. Hamsters have 2 different types of stools, the colour of which is black, one that is soft, that they actually need to eat, to help in digestion, plus they can gain nutrients from, and the other is harder, which they discard.  When a hamster has a reaction to the new food, the stools are usually lighter in colour, and are quite sticky. There is an important thing to remember though, one species of hamster needs special care when introducing new foods, and that is theCampbells hamster. Campbells are prone to diabetes, be aware of this when giving your Campbells anything that contains simple sugars. Caradea (from the UK) has made up a list of jarred baby foods that are okay for hamsters - they're all "Stage1" or "Baby's First" kinds. They seemed less likely to have onions in it if it's for babies just getting weaned. I just went to the websites and read all the boring nutritional information. The bold text is the brand name and other label information if necessary. Just make sure to double check the labels before buying since this information could change at any time.   Hipp Organic foods Stage 1 foods: Apple & Mixed Cereal creamy rice breakfast creamed porridge breakfast Mixed Vegetables Tender Carrots & Potatoes Creamed Parsnip, Potato & Cauliflower Pumpkin with Rice Carrots and sweetcorn Cottage Pie (note, it's the stage one version) Apple and Grape Dessert Apple and Banana Puree Apple and blueberry dessert Baby Organix First Fruity Chicken Heinz "Mums Own" Apricot, Butternut squash, and chicken rissotto Mums Own" Medley of Vegetables & Sweet Potato
