You can give them dog biscuits, these are a favorite among my hamsters. You can give them corn flakes, pasta... (these are things I give mine.) There are many more things that you can give them, but these are things that I personally give mine.

I also give my hammies puppy milkbones. They love them. I have heard of many things you can give them such as cabbage, cucumber, tomatoe, pasta, apples, bananas...The list goes on...Personally, I have found that mine love the milkbones, cabbage, and apples.

you're supposed to give them fresh fruits and veggies a couple of times a week....

Mine love cheerios and rice krispies, goldfish crackers, bread, peanut butter, hard boiled eggs, cheese (especially provolone)...

I also give them a lil piece of Treatsters, which are like granola bars for hamsters, a few times a week... it comes in a huge variety of flavors, and they're healthy. You can pick em up at most pet shops

Ours LOVE tofu. We just make sure they eat it all, if not we remove it. But as I said they Love it so that very rare.

Uncooked. It woudl get nasty if you cooked it then put it in their cage. Let me know if your hammies like pasta. Snowbell doesn't and I have only had Bear Bear for like a week, so I don't want to try too many new things and stress her out.

Our hammies that have passed away loved pasta but not the 8 we have now. I tried it and they didn't like it. They just love there uncooked firm tofo and baby food (carrot)

I cook my pasta

[riegfinnid]

you dont have to cook it...if you give them uncooked pasta it will also help them file down their teeth

There is not chance of them cutting their mouths on the edge of the pasta that is rough after bitting some off?

Dude, my hamster tries to shove HUGE GINORMOUS dried carrot slices into her cheeks, i don't think the hammie is going to have a problem! Hamsters are crazy like that. Ssssoooooo funny to watch! I just want her to fatten up a bit. The bad thing about hamsters is they're so small, they seem so fragile when you handle them. I want The Small to get fat and pudgy and squishy. Don't you think that being a little plump seems a lot healthier and hardier than being a little underweight and you can feel the skeleton a bit underneath? Yeah...
