Page "Hamster" Paragraph 11

Hamsters are omnivores.

Although they can survive on a diet of exclusively commercial hamster food, other items, such as vegetables, fruits, seeds, and nuts, can be given, but these should be removed before they become rotten.

Hamsters in the Middle East have been known to hunt in packs to find insects for food.

Hamsters are hindgut fermenters and must eat their own feces ( coprophagy ) to recover nutrients digested in the hindgut, but not absorbed.
