Yes, hamsters can eat cucumbers as well as carrots, apples, bananas, lettuce, zucchini, pears, strawberries and blueberries. Make sure to only offer small pieces because fruits and veggies can cause diarrhea if given in excess. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
