Exclamation Urgently need help!

Hello guys,
Well, i went to Qualipet (my nearest pet shop) to get Cyrus some food because we are running out. When i got there they were closed. Most of the shops here are closed.
So my idea was that i would ask here if anyone makes their own hamster food out of plain simple stuff?
I found some food in Coop but it was not her usual and i think it is a treat.
Can anyone help?
If not it's no problem i will make her some porridge. (i don't think ,my mum willlet me)
Any ideas just post, thanks.

(hamster: winter white
age: 2 years on January 15)

Yeah if you have some chicken breasts, i guess you can just pan fry them until they aren't pink! XD

I'm not sure frying would be too healthy for a hamster. Doesn't that involve a lot of oil and such?

Also, have you got any other pets? Bird or other rodent food would probably be best for the hamster short term. Otherwise, look for nuts, porridge oats, er... rice can be ok but I think it has to be cooked first. Pasta can also be ok for hamsters... Er... Yeah, small amounts of chicken/veg can be good, but be careful with the veg. Er... Oh yeah! Crackers can be ok, weetabix/cereals can be if they don't have much sugar.
Theres a surprising amount we can feed to our hamsters in moderation

You may also find that your hamster has a stash of food in which case they may be okay for a day or so until your usual store opens and you can purchase what they usually have.

Have you run out of food or just getting low

Actually yeah good point!!!
Maybe try frying without oil, or if you have any roast chicken left, or cook it in the oven, basically just find a way of cooking it! Oh actually suga was right check if they have any in their nest! And with the veg too much can cause the squits!!!
