Best Answer

hamsters can be given small amounts of milk as a treat, it's not often done because a hamster can easily tip a bowl of milk over, compromising the hygiene of its enclosure

it also sours quickly in warm conditions

there have also been cases of lactose intolerant hamsters becoming ill, but these are rare cases.

How much should you feed your Dwarf Hamster?

Dwarf hamsters are small pets that don't eat very much.Two tablespoons of dry hamster food,bought from a pet shop(I get mine at Pets Mart.) Dwarf hamsters only eat one forth of there food which is not very much,although your hamster is not very big at all.Always give your hamster that amount and if you own more than three adults,give a little more to prevent fighting over food,so remember always give your hamster a little more than it eats when you own more than three adults.And change your food daily.
