Yes it is unhealthy- especially if that is the sole diet. High salt (perhaps more serious for a hamster than a human), chocolate (which can be poisonous if it is actual chocolate but chocolate raisins may be coated in a kind of fake chocolate).

If the hamster was getting a hamster mix daily and just being given treats it might be fine- depending on how often it’s given the unhealthy treats.

With a dying hamster people often say give them anything they like, even cake etc but for an old hamster who isn’t dying it could cause ill health.
