Can hamsters eat chocolate ?
No, chocolate is toxic and even in a relatively small amount can be fatal for hamsters. In addition to the huge amount of sugar and fats, chocolate also contains theobromine, which is safe for humans, but is toxic to most small animals and rodents. Hamsters are simply unable to metabolize this substance, and they remain in their bodies for more than 24 hours, which can easily poison them.
