Do hamsters eat crickets

Yes, they can. Even though a lot of people think that hamsters are herbivores, but they are actually omnivores. In the wild, they eat loads of soft invertebres including crickets, and mealworms. They love to eat crickets. If you are going to give your hamster bugs, give them dead ones. Giving your hamster live bugs to kill and eat, this will make your hamster untamed, and you can never tame it again.
