Go careful with veggies at first. You try one at a time and only a piece no bigger than your fingernail. This slow method of introducing veggies helps you see if one might be a problem for hammy. I wonder what your little furry will decide on as a favorite!

Edited to add:
Just noticed: The wiki site is down right now. Once it's back up you'll be able to see the foods list. |
Thank you for the list, I was trying to find the list I had printed off for one of my previous hamsters and could not find it.
