I honestly don't think gradual transition is as critical for every individual of every species as some people might think. For certain species(rabbits & guinea pigs for digestive reasons like sushi_78 mentioned and horses as far as I know because of higher chance of colic for example) there are very good reasons not to change diet too quickly - I don't think hamsters are actually one of those species though!

There are some situations where a rapid diet change is actually needed with hamsters, like in this case with an infestation or in other cases with hamsters being fed really unsafe or extremely unhealthy diets.
