Can hamsters eat thistle seed?

I have some thistle seed at home. I was going to give some to my hamster as a treat, but I don't know if it is poisonous. Can I give some?

Update:

I won't take any chances if I don't know, but if somebody knows for sure, that would be great.

    I personally wouldnt.

    I wouldnt take the chance of him getting sick or worse, die.

    Stick to his regular diet

    But you can give him carrots, grapes, corn, and other yummy veggies and fruits.

    I used to own 2 robo hamsters. They got fresh fruit and veggies every day, with their normal diet. They lived to be 4 1/2 years old!
