I really dont know what hamsters can eat ?

By pellets do you mean strictly pellets? Or the hamster/gerbil mix that you can get from walmart and pet stores? The mix is better for them, just pellets can lead to a lifetime of digestion issues. As a bare minimum i suggest the mix and alfalfa hay, it helps regulate their digestive system as well as keep their teeth trimmed (they never stop growing you know). If you do switch the food, be sure to do it gradually, mix some of the old food with the new food and slowly switch to the new food completely.

Celery is a good treat, but too much green and you can hurt your hammy by giving him wet tail (diarrhea)
