I got a new hamster and we are trying to find out what food we can coax it on to my hand with.... Can they have nuts???
Yes Though salted nuts probably not a good idea Also - try giving it some nuts still in the shell - used to have a hamster when I was a kid, often gave it a haxelnut in the shell and then watch it getting at the nut!
I once gave cabbage to one of my rats and they slept in it and nibbled it if they woke up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The person you bought it off should be able to tell you what breed it is. Failing that you can try here http://www.hamsterhideout.com/breeds.html
