A hamster will eat anything you put in front of it. One thing to bear in mind is that hamsters are desert animals. Fruit and vegetables are something that is not found in their natural habitat and therefore not a part of their natural diet. Fruit contains sugars (fructose) sugar and salts draw water into the bowels this can cause what is known as osmotic diarrhea, not wet tail. All fruit should be avoided, and only a selected number of vegetable that have minimal water content with high fiber should be fed.

yeah of course, hamsters would eat any fruit, veg, ect in the wild and it would definitely eat lettuce. however, do not overfeed hamster with lettuce, the reason is that hamsters could get diarreah and this could cause stress, and maybe leading to wet-tail. hope this helped ;D
