Editing Hamster (section)

===Diet===
Hamsters are [[omnivores]], which means they can eat meat and plant matter. Hamsters that live in the wild eat seeds, grass, and even insects.<ref name="omlet.us"/> Although pet hamsters can survive on a diet of exclusively commercial hamster food, other items, such as vegetables, fruits, seeds, and nuts, can be given. Although store-bought food is good for hamsters, it is best if fruits and vegetables are also in their diet because it keeps them healthier.<ref name="All About Keeping Hamsters as Pets">{{Cite web|url=https://www.thesprucepets.com/hamsters-overview-1238973|title=All About Keeping Hamsters as Pets|website=The Spruce Pets|language=en|access-date=2019-11-20}}</ref> Hamsters in the Middle East have been known to hunt in packs to find insects for food.<ref name="Encyclopædia Britannica">"hamster."
