In fact, it\u2019s actually very good for them. The vitamin C, manganese, antioxidants, and dietary fibers in pineapple are great for your hamster. Manganese will help your hamster\u2019s brain functions, while antioxidants can help prevent cancer. Vitamin C will improve your hamster\u2019s overall health, much as it will yours, and fiber is of course good for your hamster\u2019s digestive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The important thing to remember is to feed your hamster pineapple only in the right amounts. Like other fruits, pineapple is high in sugar and can cause diabetes or obesity if your hamster eats too much of it. But there is no risk if you are carefully monitoring how much pineapple your hamster eats. As stated above, there are actually benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Can_Hamsters_Have_Canned_Pineapple_or_Pineapple_Juice\"><strong>Can Hamsters Have Canned Pineapple or Pineapple Juice<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case no, hamsters cannot eat pineapple skin. You need to make sure you feed your hamster only raw pineapple without the skin or seeds. The pieces of pineapples you give your hamsters should be from a fresh pineapple, and you should wash the pineapple before you feed it to your hamster. Canned pineapple can have additives, such as salt or sugar, that can be harmful for your hamster. Pineapple juice is not recommended for hamsters, or any other type of juice, in fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smaller Dwarf hamster varieties should only have a piece of pineapple equal to the size of their ear each week. Larger Roborovski hamsters can have up to a paw-sized piece of pineapple each week, as can Syrian hamsters. Of course, Syrian hamsters are larger than Roborovski hamsters, meaning their paws are also larger, allowing Syrian hamsters to have a little bit more pineapple than Roborovski hamsters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might have heard that pineapple \u201ceats you back\u201d when you eat it.
