What should hamsters eat and feed what

In addition to eating professional rat food, hamsters can also eat some vitamin-rich fruits. For example, fresh apples and strawberries are the favorite of hamsters. Be careful not to give peaches and apricots to hamsters, as they are not allowed to eat these two fruits.

Nuts generally have a hard shell, and for hamsters, they can satisfy both the appetite and the need for teeth grinding. However, nuts generally contain a lot of oil, and hamsters will gain weight if they eat too much, so they should control the amount of nuts they eat.
