Hamster Fact:
Hamsters are omnivores
It came as a surprise to me to find that hamsters are omnivores. After all when going to the pet store usually the only food the hamster is seen eating are the pellets that come out of a bag (which the pet store conveniently sells).
Hamsters can be fed fruit, such as apples or pears. They can also be fed protein in the form of live crickets, small pieces of cooked chicken or beef, or even bits of dog food. Pork is considered too fatty for them.
In the wild some hamsters actually hunt in packs. Think of them as a group of furry, mini wolf pack or raptors and you might laugh.
