What Do Hamsters Eat In The Wild?


Hamsters in the wild live primarily on seeds, grasses, and other vegetation. They are omnivorous, rather than strictly vegetarian, which means they can eat both plant and animal materials. In their desert habitats they often eat insects, and in captivity they are sometimes given animal protein such as pieces of boiled egg.
