A young hamster's diet should include the following foods:


1. Hamster food: Provide high-quality hamster-specific food, which is their main food source. Choose a balanced formula rich in protein, fiber and vitamins.


2. Fresh vegetables and fruits: Provide fresh vegetables and fruits in appropriate amounts as supplements. For example, carrots, cucumbers, apples, strawberries, etc. Make sure to cut it into small pieces or shreds so your little hamster can chew and digest it easily.


3. Hay: Provide hay as part of the daily diet. Hay is rich in fiber, which helps promote a healthy digestive system.


4. Nuts and seeds: Provide some nuts and seeds in moderation, such as almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. These foods are rich in fat and protein, but care should be taken to control intake to avoid excessive obesity.


5. Drinking water: Always provide clean fresh water to your hamster. Use a water bottle or bowl that is the right size for them.


It is important to make sure food is fresh, dry and clean. Avoid giving too much moist food to prevent mold and bacterial growth. Also, observe your hamster's appetite and digestion and consult your veterinarian if there are any abnormalities or problems.
