Out of curiosity, I'd like to know some of everyone's hamster's unique favorite food / treats besides the typical sunflower seeds. Hopefully this'll help me find some food ideas for my hamster c:
So here, I'll start~
I found out recently, out of all the veggies I gave to my hamster, she seems to REALLY love Choi Sum a lot. She would never refuse it and would always finish the entire thing by the end of the day.
Spike's top favorites are a tie between broccoli and Heinz Apple Biscotti (baby). He goes nuts for either of them and eats them straight away rather than pouching them. Broccoli is pretty common as a favorite I think but I tried the biscotti on a whim and was pleasantly surprised he loves it so much, I make sure I always have some for him.

Spinach leaves, romaine lettuce, soy sprouts and beetroot. The little one absolutely loves dandelion roots, the big one ignores them. And I tried cooked potato today for the first time, both hamsters loved it. If you want to be a bit more experimental you could try grasshoppers. Mine didn't like them when I first tried, but now it's one of their favourites.
Broccoli, baby carrot, and cucumber are Toby's favorite veggies, if I offer him a broccoli floret he snags it from me and runs straight away to hide and start eating it. ha ha. I get a little snack tray at Walmart with broccoli florets, baby carrots and other things that I eat for around 2.00 .
I tried a strawberry and he nibbled it and then flung it away and didn't want anymore. lol.
He also really is enjoying his little stuffed chew log, it's like a snak shak type of little log with seeds and alfalfa .
He also really loves store bought hamster trail mix... it's got pumpkin seeds, and dried fruit , etc. I hide those under rocks and on top of things for him to find. I don't give them every day, but he'll still go searching all over the tank for whatever I've decided to hide for him.
Broccoli, chicken, cucumber, Cow N Gate Cauliflower cheese, and also cauliflower and broccoli cheese.
There's many more but these are gobbled up right away.
