Peanuts are fine for hamsters. Some treat mixes sold have peanuts in them. They also like oatmeal (uncooked) or a saltine cracker. Raisins and grapes (just a couple) are favorable too. Hamsters like sunflower seeds too. Have fun with Peanut.

Peanuts are healthy as long as your hamster has a regular hamster diet as well. Be careful of peanut butter, though. One of my rats choked on peanut butter from eating it too fast. I saved her, but barely. It was scary.

I have a teddy bear hamster named Teddy, and I feed him nuts all the time. He likes them and doesn't show any sign of bad things.

I'm not sure but they would probably be ok if they are raw, and also if your hamster has been ok since, then there isn't any thing to worry about!

I'm assuming you mean raw, not salted peanuts. One now and then is OK, but not too many. They are very fatty.

sure they eat everything but please be cautious.
feed your hamster a commercially prepared hamster-food mix once or twice a day.
supply a small amount of fresh fruits and vegetables year-round. when you introduce new foods, initially feed small portions so his system can get used to them and i lost a couple hamsters cause some foods are toxic to their system.

Peanuts are most likely fine as long as he's not allergic (it can happen).
