Default Do my hamsters need more to their diet?

My hamsters just have the P@H mix and Puccho has some meal worms as treats (Haymitch doesn't like them).

Do they need more than that?

Well it is always nice to add some veggies, like carrots, broccoli, lettuce, cilantro, cucumber, etc. I started mine on that 3 times a week and now they get a bit every day. You have to be careful though and make sure it isn't messing up their stool! this offers a good list: What can I feed my hamster?

by the looks of it, I think they get most of what they need already in their diet.
However it is nice to add a little variety, I give mine pieces of fruit (Apple, grapes, banana, strawberries, raspberries etc) or vegetables (carrot, broccoli, potato, peas, corn, swede/turnip, sprouts, peppers etc) nearly every day but as pinkpandavt points out, build it up slowly to avoid upset tummies.
As a treat, very sparingly I also give fudge baby food, atos dog chews, scrambled egg, porridge/sugar free muesli/cereal, bread/toast/crackers, chicken, biscuits, cheese, nuts, yoghurt (preferably live)

hello

yes they do need more, no one wants to eat the same food every day, and neither do your hamsters!. They need variety for health and its nice to give them the other food, try the ones that Pinkpandavt suggested.
