hamster feeding

Question
I fed my hamster some orange...just once. I am really worried because I have been reading about them, and everyone says not to feed them orange. I did it last night, so far she seems fine. Is she going to die? please help. thank you.

Answer
Hi Candice

Don't worry about this.  I've given mine orange in the past with no bad side effects.  The argument for not giving orange is that it is very acidic.  To be on the safe side, avoid giving her citrus fruits.  Apple, pear and grapes are fine and they love these.
