Yes.
Yes.

When I bought my hamsters, the sales people said that a tiny piece of cabbage is good for their digestive system, and helps prevent wet tail :)

I give mine cabbage and they love it.

Dwarf hamsters can eat cabbage, yes.

They should be given the usual seed, grain and nut mix specifically designed for dwarf hamsters whenever possible, as this is always their main diet, in the wild and in captivity.

They can also have:

  • Apple (seeds removed)
  • Carrot
  • Broccoli
  • Pear
  • Cabbage
  • Cauliflower
  • Dandelion greens
  • Kale
  • Lettuce (except iceberg lettuce)
  • Spinach
  • Hay

Some treats are:

  • Cooked brown rice
  • Mealworm
  • Crickets
  • Wholegrain cereal (never sugary cereal designed for humans)
  • Small bits of hard boiled egg
  • Unsalted nuts (never almonds)
  • Pumpkin and sunflower seeds
  • Skinned avocado
  • Stoneless cherries
  • Grapes
  • Green beans

You should keep honey-based treats to a minimum, for example, honey coated seed sticks. Too much of this can cause obesity and Diabetes in hamsters.

You should never feed them:

  • Sugary food
  • Food made for human consumption
  • Citrus fruits (Oranges, mandarins, lemons, etc)
  • Almonds
  • Garlic (toxic to hamsters)
  • Onion (toxic to hamsters)
  • Potato tops
  • Rhubarb
  • Raisins (they get stuck in cheek pouches and cause pain)
  • Tomato

However, you should never suddenly change their diet. This can cause digestive upsets. Instead, introduce new food to them in small amounts over a period of days, so they get used to it.

It isn't the best thing to give them. Safe vegetables for hamsters include carrots, celery, and corn.
