Default How small should my pieces of fresh veggies be for a new campbell or winter white?

I'll likely be getting a campbell's or winter white this Friday, and I haven't ever introduced fresh vegetables into my hamster's diet before but I understand that they should be implemented slowly avoid diarrhoea and other adverse effects. How little should I give them at first, and how frequently?

Just a litle 1cm cube is fine, especially with sweeter veg such as carrots and bell peppers. My Russians’ favourite veggies are broccoli, cauliflower, green bell pepper, cucumber, and cabbage. Start off with giving a small piece of veg every 3 - 4 days or so and gradually increase it to however often you prefer to feed them veg.

Sidenote: any russian dwarf thats not from a registered breeder will be a hybrid (part WW, part Campbells) which means you have to be especially careful with sugary food, sweet veg and small amount of fruit once a week wont do any harm but stay away from sugary commercial treats such as yogurt drops.
