Okay so I recently got a hamster probably a good month ago he s adorable and I love him he s a Syrian hamster But I have realised some things He comes out every night at least once out of his cage and he loves it especially exploring around but as soon as I put him back in he starts looking at me to come back out again he bites on the bars and climbs up them are they really that NEEDY or do they just not like it in their cage??
Hamsters in general, especially Syrian hamsters, can be very needy. They need a very good amount of attention and feel loved. However, they do like to explore. Their specific type are the types that like to move around in large areas. Hope that helps a bit.Hamsters in general, especially Syrian hamsters, can be very needy.

If this was the other way around, I would say it'd be okay for a couple of days. Hamsters have a pretty advanced digestion system and can get bloaty and sick when fed the wrong things. But never fear if you google hamster food you can find some more ''organic?" supplements until you can make it back to your local store. Rats/Mice on the other hand are made to hoard their food. They don't stuff it in their cheeks, although mine likes to sometimes it seems, they like to hide their food. Doing this they burn more energy and need a higher energy/protein diet.
I don't buy rat food, I make my own. I did the same with my hamster too with the store bought mix. Here's a list from my memory you can give hamsters that you may have around the house.
Carrots
Apples
Granola (Good for teeth!)
Cooked red meat (like hamburger meat)
Water Chestnuts
Nuts
Shelled almonds (more fun!)
Bread/Toast (My friend made peanut buttered toast for her hammy)
Fish (fully cooked!)
Eggs (Scrambled/Boiled no fried)
Cheese (in moderation)
Mealworms and crickets (you probably don't have these but for future reference :) )
Dog Biscuits (Try to stay away from some high in protein, and it's good for their teeth!)
Teddy bear hamsters are incredibly cute and make great pets, the common name for what's known as the Syrian hamster. The average lifespan of a teddy bear hamster is about 2-3 years in captivity, and less time in the wild. Individual hamster can live shorter or longer depending on their lifestyle, diet, and care.
Hamsters in general, especially Syrian hamsters, can be very needy. They need a very good amount of attention and feel loved. However, they do like to explore. Their specific type are the types that like to move around in large areas. Hope that helps a bit.
