they like apples, and if you want to give them some other stuff, they really like old cereal. But all i can think of, of what they like is apples
apple, strawberry, celery, cheerios, cottage cheese, yogurt, hardboiled eggs,no onions, no salty stuff, no green leafy stuff.
You can give them: Apple, grape, raisins, banana, boiled egg, cheese and i would 100% definatley give them ham!! They absolutley love it and because people think they're omnivores they dont feed them meat so definatley feed them ham!! Hope this helps!
try to avoid citrus fruits...as this can cause diabetes easily with hamsters
pretty much and fruit or vegetable... don't feed them anything citrus-y, like oranges... and I don't think ur supposed to feed any pets grapes.
They really like things like celery and carrots!
Plse be careful not to feed your hamster too much fruit as this can cause them diarea.
