This is sounding more like a no, but because of most people having multiple hams the pole doesn't show it. I should have made it multiple choice.

HF, that's a good plan. I'm unaware of what Peanut's preference is bt hopefully WH will tell us tomorrow.

MMMTDF, have you tried broccoli (raw)? I think I'm yet to know of a ham who doesn't like it. (Although I'm sure someone will say now )

I have! I was so surprised when they turned their noses up at it. Not even a nibble. They will eat some pumpkin seeds but not much.

Ah, so strawberries are ok? I read in a book that strawberries are too acidic for hamsters. Seeing that you all feed them to your hamsters probably means that I can feed them to mine!

My syrians seem too! ...one time I went to give Horace a whole one and put it infront of him,he tried to eat it straight away when, I then realised it was too big and chopped it in half...then went to give it to him he picked it up, dropped it, went in a huff and went into his bed ( i reckon coz he wanted the whole one)...i left it out and when i came back later it had gone teehee!

I never give Albi strawberries or the like, because I'm paranoid the dwarfies will notice and feel left out!

Harry will it within seconds but im beginning to learn that he is a bit of a hoover, and fluffy will only eat the green leaves on the top.

Oscar and Cooper love them!

Bailey doesn't get any because of the sugar.

I've never read that... :/ It's on HC's wiki safe foods list.

It's only not given to dwarves, because of the sugar and the possibility of diabetes.

Just like to add, that it's only a worry for diabetes in Campbells, Hybrids and Chinese.

Robos and Pure Winter Whites are okay.
