Are hamsters a generalist species

Hamsters are generally considered to be opportunistic feeders rather than strict generalists. They adapt their diet based on the availability of food in their environment, consuming seeds, grains, fruits, and vegetables. However, their specific habitat and behaviors can vary significantly among different species, with some being more specialized than others. Overall, while hamsters show some generalist traits, they also exhibit specific preferences that can limit their adaptability in certain conditions.
