Hamsters are fairly intelligent, very active and friendly. Hamsters should always be provided with toys to play with when awake. If the food is more than 90 days old or has been exposed to moisture or temperatures over 50 degrees F, it should be discarded. Hamsters need a pelleted rodent diet as their primary food. Supplement pellets with fresh fruits and vegetables such as pesticide free broccoli, peas, carrots, grapes, apples, strawberries and bananas.
Hamsters also like grass, clover and dandelions.
When feeding fruits and vegetables, make sure food is always fresh. Physical Description Hamsters vary widely in physical appearance. They can be one solid color or multi-colored, ranging from brown, orange, black, white to gray. They may also have bands, arches, spots or other fur patterns. Popular breeds of hamsters include Syrian, Siberian, Teddy and Dwarf.
