Can you give a dwarf hamster dried fruit?

It is generally not recommended to feed dwarf hamsters dried fruits. While they may enjoy these treats, they are high in sugar and can lead to weight gain, diabetes, and other health issues. Additionally, some dried fruits can be toxic to hamsters, such as raisins and grapes.

Suitable treats for dwarf hamsters can include:

- Hard-boiled egg (once a week)

- Plain yogurt (low in fat and sugar)

- Small bits of fresh fruit (in moderation)

- Hamster safe seeds (such as sunflower, pumpkin, and flax)

- Unsweetened cereals

- Mealworms (as rare treats)

It's always best to offer these treats in moderation and as a supplement to their regular diet, which should consist mainly of a high-quality hamster food. When introducing any new food, it is a good idea to start with a small amount and observe your hamster's reaction to ensure they do not have any adverse effects.
