No, hamsters cannot eat wood. While hamsters have a natural instinct to chew on objects for dental health and enrichment, wood is not a suitable dietary option for them. Although certain types of safe wood can be provided for their chewing needs, it should not be considered as a food source. Instead, hamsters should be offered a balanced diet consisting of hamster pellets, fresh fruits, vegetables, and occasional treats. It is important to ensure that any wood provided is clean, free from chemicals or pesticides, and large enough to prevent choking hazards. Additionally, there are various toys and chews available in the market specifically designed for hamsters to satisfy their chewing and enrichment needs.
