Animal crackers are crunchy and they enjoy eating them.
A few foods to not feed a hamster would be pieces of an apple that are close to the core, and iceberg lettuce.
Google some foods hamsters may like.

Peanut butter, carrots, and cheese are most hamsters favourites.

Hamsters should only have cereals that are very low sugar. Do not give them cereals designed for children as they will have ample amounts of artificial sweetening. Sugar is bad for hamsters because it rots their teeth, and a veteranary appointment to clean your furry friend creates quite a hole in your wallet.

If you're all out of hamster food (I suggest you get some soon), you can feed your hamster carrots, lettuce, any vegetable. Stay away from foods other than this. You don't want to take any risks with your hamster. Also, you don't know if your hamster has any serious allergies. At all costs, do what I said. But, if you can help it, get some more hamster food! It's the easy and safe route to go.

The cost to feed a hamster for a year can vary depending on the type and quality of food you buy. On average, it can cost between $50 to $100 per year to feed a hamster, factoring in expenses for food pellets, fresh veggies, and occasional treats. Buying in bulk or seeking out discounts can help lower costs.
You can feed your dwarf hamster a commercial hamster mix, fresh fruits and vegetables (in moderation), and small amounts of protein sources like cooked egg or mealworms. Make sure to provide fresh water at all times and avoid feeding foods that are high in sugar, salt, or fat.
