get the book Hamsterlopaedia: A Complete Guide to Hamster Care from your library or bookstore. has just what u need.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamster
this site has some stuff, but the book is best.
ps: they eat a pellet like their poop that contains nutrients, but it's not actually poop.

I happen to have a hamster,well hears a few things:
Hamsters can only eat fruits,grains,and some nuts(no candy,chocolate,cream,frosting,or spicy stuff)
Um...well a hamster stores food in its pouch and thats all i know..

A veterinarian who specializes in small animals and rodents could answer this question best.
Try the website I found for you V

I know that their guts can fall out. That happened to one that my friend had.. they just fell out. Call a vet's office or go to the Library.

they eat their own poop as a secondary digestive thing.
