Are Hamsters allowed to eat Watermelon, tomatos, potatos, oranges, bugs, or grass2007-11-24 21:57:56

I'm not saying I gave them these, just asking. : )

Answers:

Some of these are okay, while some of them aren't.

-Watermelon is not okay to feed, because it can make your hamster sick.

-Tomatoes contain citric acid, and can give your hamster a stomach ache. Avoid feeding any fruits or veggies that contain citric acid.

-Potatoes are okay to feed to your hamster in moderation, but just make sure that they're washed.

-Oranges, like tomatoes, are acidic, and make your hamster sick.

-Certain bugs are safe to feed, but NEVER catch these outside. If you decide to feed them, buy them at a pet store in the lizard section. Crickets, locusts, mealworms, and certain beetles are safe to feed. If you have any doubt about whether a type of bug is safe for hamsters, ask a pet store employee while you are buying them.

I wouldn't give one these - either too watery or too acidic. Don't know about the bugs - probably best to avoid the bugs as well. Not sure about the grass.

Carrots, apples and grapes in small quantities are OK though.
