📖About Can Hamsters Eat Chocolate?
Chocolate is toxic to hamsters. The theobromine and caffeine in chocolate cause cardiac arrhythmias, hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, and death. A hamster's tiny body means even a very small amount of chocolate represents a massive relative dose. Dark chocolate is the most dangerous, but all chocolate must be avoided. White chocolate contains minimal theobromine but is still too high in fat and sugar. Keep all chocolate away from hamsters.
