📖About Can Hamsters Eat Pork?
Plain, thoroughly cooked lean pork is not toxic to hamsters, but it is fattier than chicken or turkey, making it a less ideal protein choice. If offered, use only the leanest cut, trim all fat, and cook plain. Very small amounts very occasionally are acceptable. Chicken or turkey is always preferred.
