Not sure what they are, but if they are in your hamsters food and cage, it means you have a serious cleanliness problem. How often do you clean out the cage?

You might have to throw out all the food and buy more. You will have to do a deep clean of your hamsters cage and toys too... wash everything plastic, throw away any wooden toys as the bugs most likely use the wood to hide in and lay their eggs.

Have you noticed your hamster scratching him/ her self quite alot? Perhaps it has them in it's fur too?
