📖About Can Hamsters Eat Butter?
Butter should not be given to hamsters. It is pure fat, which hamsters' tiny bodies cannot process safely in any meaningful amount. Hamsters are prone to obesity, and high-fat foods directly contribute to this. The sodium in salted butter is also disproportionately high for a hamster's tiny body. There is no nutritional benefit from butter that hamsters cannot get from appropriate sources.
