as long as they're not fat and eat the rest of their food, I think it does them no harm... on the contrary... Insects must always have been on their daily food intake in the wildness... Weighing or just feeling the body of the hamster gives a good idea if he gets too much protein or fat( with peanuts sunflower seeds for example) or if he's fine, or a bit too lean/slim.
