My Syrian hamster likes carrot has a treat. I don't give her too much as she could getdiarrhea I tend to give her 1 or 2 little cubes about a centimetre in width, height and depth every week. I also put treat sticks on her cage which i leave there until she finishes them. There wooden sticks covered with treats that are safe for hamsters.

I have never owned a dwarf hamster but i know your not aloud to give them fruit and vegetables as treats.

You can feed any kind of hamster fruits and veggies but no citrus fruits. You can also feed then dandelion leaves. There are great treats such as: yogurt drops, nut and seed clusters, dried banana chips, etc. that are sold at pet stores.

anything but chocolate, fatty foods, onions and garlic, they enjoy healthy treats like fresh fruit and veg, but they also enjoy meat, non fatty, like chicken and fish but they will enjoy a little red meat once in a while, try to keep sugar levels down as this could result in Diabetes and is very difficult to look after

If you mean what treats do hamsters in general like best then it usually depends on the individual hamster though there are things that most like such as strawberries and those yogurt drops you can get at the pet store.

If you mean my hamster specifically I don't have one anymore he died but when he was alive I think he preferred carrots and cucumbers. Of course he liked lettuce too. Oh and sunflower seeds. They are a very good treat though I find some hamsters get lazy and no longer want to crack them open themselves. :D

There are a lot of treats that these animals can have. There are stores that sell boxes of treats of different kinds made for these animals. You can also use nuts and people cookies for treats.
