Answer
Dear Brian, I'm not positive about hard boiled eggs, I know gerbils can eat them, and I'm almost sure hamsters can, too. Carrots are good, NO ICEBERG LETTUCE!!! >:~( sorry just wanted to make sure I got that very clear. They can eat pretty much all fruits and veggies, just remove the remains the next day to maintain a clean environment for your hamster. Sunflower seeds-hamsters love them, but they are high in fat so only use them as a once-in-a-while treat.
