Gilberto Cratin: Yes, yes they can. However, I would say that they conceptually speaking don't know the difference between 'natural' and 'synthetic' foods and that really it all comes down to 'food'. 'Synthetic' and 'natural' is a human concept or at least a highly advance primate concept, not a simplistic mammal creature.
Judie Kise: Um, any hamster can tell a taste difference, just like any human can. Natural food is the best for them and natural treats and most of them like it better. A good treat is yogurt drops that you can find in the baby isle in a grocery store, they're for toddlers and they eat that stuff all day! The mixed berry and strawberry, I haven't had much luck with the peach kind... Anyways, has nothing to do with being born in a cage :) If you were born in a cage it'd be the same for you too. the only difference is if you switched from good to bad food or bad to good food the taste difference would be dramatic and the "bad" food would be less desi! rable and probably just picked at...Show more
Luis Mellon: A big difference between carrots and hamster food is the amount of moisture retained in carrots where there is little in commercial hamster food.Hamsters are desert dwellers and would probably not recognize many natural foods due to the lack of moisture found in the desert. But at the same time natural foods are generally chosen over synthetic foods.See what happens if you put a chunk of food the same size in the hamster's food bowl alongside his regular food. If he goes for this he can probably tell the difference (unless it just has a strong scent like meat)....Show more
Peter Lapoint: yes they can
Jesse Japak: um there instincks will proble kick in maybe idk it probly depends on how they were spoiled
Jacques Teri: I had a hampster once. I was five years old and I desperately wanted a pet. My mom took me to the pet store in hopes of buying me a small, easy to take care of animal. We decided! on a gold fish. I was so excited! However, when we got there,! the lady at the counter told us that a hampster is easier to take care of than a fish. So, a hampster it was. She picked out a male, very light brown hampster for me. While my mom picked out a cage, I admired the little fellow. Then, the pet store lady asked me what I was going to name the hampster. I had no idea! What a tough decision. As we were walking out of the pet store door, the perfect name dawned on me. Hampsty! What a great name, right? And so, Hampsty, my mom, and I left the pet store and headed home. It was the best day of my life. We got home and I played with Hampsty. I had to wear gloves because he bit a lot, but I loved him anyway. As I grew up, Hampsty and I became the best of friends. He could do the monkey bars on top of his bar cage and he never bit me. However, I was very irresponsible and I never cleaned his cage. My mom got sick of doing it all the time, so she sent the hampster with me to school. (With the permission of my second grade teacher of co! urse.) The class fell in love with hampsty. He was a great class pet. Then one day, tradgedy struck. Hampsty was found dead one morning in the classroom. The cause of death was unknown, but I knew it was the worst day of my life. We held a burrial outside for Hampsty, and I realized that it was ok. He lived a full, happy life. He lived for 3 and a half years, which is over two times the average life span of a hampster. I visited his grave often and now I have matured and I still think about Hampsty, my best friend....Show more
