So I accidentally fed a hamster a handful of rabbit food not knowing it was for rabbits. It ate it and it seems fine. Would it be fine?

A handful of rabbit food should not cause much a detrimental effect to your hamster. It is possible that you could see some minor gastrointestinal upset leading to some diarrhea, but as long as that does not continue in any extended way Baby Girl should be OK. Constantly feeding the wrong type of food to her would definitely lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Feed a high quality diet designed for rodents only. Hope this helps!
