Can hamsters eat yogurt?

Yes, but only a little: hamsters can eat yogurt. Germany’s Veterinary Association for Animal Welfare (TVT) suggests plain yogurt as animal protein for both Syrian and dwarf hamsters. It recommends a fingernail-sized portion, and the German Animal Welfare Federation lists yogurt too.

How to serve it: plain yogurt, a fingernail-sized portion

Good to know: Store-bought yogurt drops are a different story – the TVT says they often contain sugar.
