You should be feeding them a diet of EITHER extrusion (pellets to feed your hamster with nutritions. Or you can feed them regular hamster feed (sunflowers, dried corn, grains... etc...) these are 2 healthy diets.
Feeding your hamster fresh fruits and vegetables is perfectly fine but make sure you know if what your feeding it is safe for your hamster. You can also buy treats from the petstore *example* Yogurt Drops* a yummy treat or reward for your hamster! All of this stuff can be bought from PetSmart, Petco, PetValue, PJS Pets... etc
