All species in general have been said to like:
hazelnut (in broken pieces)
dried mealworm
guinea pig pellet
walnuts
Various drops from Vitakraft
Corn/Carrot/Alfafa Slims from Vitakraft
Scrambled eggs
Bean curd
Spaghetti
Milk (from powder)
Yoghurt
Germinating bean sprouts
Dog food
mangoes
grapes
eggs(hard boiled)
Tomatoes
cucumber
lettuce
celery
cheese
Some items hamsters (all species) will readily take are:
a) Rice
b) Yogurt
c) Any green vegetable - especially leafy ones (e.g. spinach, xiao pai chai, chinese celery and other local vegetables.)
d) cooked chicken/fish
e) any sort of fruits, except sour ones like oranges (apple, grape, banana...anything to this effect - mine take durian sometimes!)
f) carrots (although some owners claim this discolors white hamsters)
g) alfalfa (this may become more of a bedding than a food source for some hasmters)
h) Toasted bread
i) dog biscuits
Don't forget the compound food - a mixture of nuts and seeds!
