📖About Can Hamsters Eat Pineapple?
Fresh pineapple is safe for hamsters in very small amounts. However, the combination of high acidity and high sugar makes it one of the less recommended fruit treats. The acid can cause mouth sores and digestive upset. Only a very small piece should be offered, infrequently. Canned pineapple is not appropriate due to added sugar. The core and skin should be removed.
