It is widely debated but hamsters can drink a small bit of fresh (never sour) milk sparingly as a treat. It can be beneficial to nursing mothers, ill hamsters and young.

However...

I do not know if the milk referred to in this research is cows or goats milk.

From my own experience working in a wildlife refuge, cows milk is undigestable to many mammals and can cause considerable stomach upsets which I believe could lead to your hamster becoming ill.

Instead we use goats milk and have never experienced any problems with it, so I would recommend that.

I would also recommend that you give only half a teaspoon only once a week or less and feed outside the cage, as milk can be spilled within the cage and will therefore rot and cause illness.
