yes. The Stomach of a hamster is split up into two unique sections. The first stomach contains beneficial bacteria or microbes that help with digestion by fermenting the food the hamster ate. These bacteria make it so the hamster can eat fibrous foods like grasses. The second section is a stomach similar to humans. It contains acids and enzymes that break down the food for a few hours before it is passed into the intestines for further digestion. A hamster uses a type of ruminant digestive system.
