NO!!!!!!!
If you haven't got any hamster food left, give it small amounts of bread and plenty of water

NO, NO, NO!!!! They can only be given food meant for them plus the food from the list on the link below. Now you can give an unflavored dog biscuit to a hamster that chews a lot, especially on the bars. You need to go and read up on how to properly care for a hamster. Either buy a book on them or read the information in these sites-all hve good information on them.

yes. i have a book called 'Gerbils' by Anmarie Barrie. it has 42 pages about "feeding gerbils" it states that you can reward your gerbils occasionaly with a dog bisquit. so i asume since hamsters and gerbils both eat the same you could give a dog biscuit to your hamster or a piece of dried dog food. some other foods you could give your hamster , if you run out of hamster food are nuts,clovers, dandelions, vegtables, wheats or oats. they eat about a tablespoon, or 0.3oz of food daily. good luck :)

I'm going to say you probably can, but why would you want to? I don't have hamsters, but, my kids have pet rats. We feed them hamster and gerbil food, and our food.(not too much sugar)Maybe give them some fruit or something instead of the dog food?

Well I'm not sure it's the BEST thing for them but i have personal experience in that it won't kill them lol. Our hamster escaped his cage and we found him 2 weeks later behind our washing machine..He had been surviving off of Dog Food the whole time! lol So it definetely doesn't kill them but feeing them hamster food or whatever is probably better for them.

Like all animals, they will always want something different, but feed them proper hamster food. Every pet has different dietary needs, and they need to be met for optimum health.

Of course you can, but will they eat it? I'm not so sure.
