No. They should not eat grapes. Grapes have way to much water in them to be giving them to a hampster. Hamsters can ger wet tail if they have to much water based foods in their diets.

Ohhh! I had no idea. That's great that you seem to know about hamsters and shared your knowledge. I would think a variety of food might still be fine as long as you didn't give lots of food with high water content. But I guess you do have to be careful since they are such small animals.

I think they can eat any fresh fruit like that... well maybe not citrus but grapes should be fine.

Thats one thing that I'm not quite sure of. I've had a lot of hamsters in the past, but I've never fed any of them grapes. I never tried feeding them fresh foods. I guess I should have though.
