In the wild a hamster would have to hunt for it's food so it is important to supplement its daily routine with fun activities where they can hunt for their food. Some chew sticks or bars that you buy for you hamsters are on plastic cage hooks rather than wooden sticks therefore vegetables and fruit such as apples and cucumber can be slid on for your hamster to try and find and remove. Also if your hamster has a toy such as a television where it is almost like a cup, this can be filled with wood shavings or shredded paper then with dry food like normal hamster food or rasins, drop a few in the toy and letyou hammie enjoy burrowing for them.

Hamsters are rodents, and feed on seeds and other vegetable matter, much like voles do in North America. If they are pets, they get it from you.
