I definitely agree that rabbit pellets really wouldn't do much. A high quality rabbit pellet will be Timothy based and made of almost exclusively grass, which hams don't find too appealing. If you didn't get a high quality pellet, it'd have preservatives and chemicals to avoid. Plus rabbit pellets have a lot of fiber in them, and though fiber is alright for hamsters, it's bad if it's too high. Overall as cypher said, anything that isn't made for rodents shouldn't be fed to hamsters (and even some products for rodents and specifically hamsters!)
