He should be fine if he didn't have too much.

depends on the strength of the citric acid
that's fine. there is nothing bad going to happen, used to feed my hamster all sorts of fruit all the time and he lived until he was 5 (quite old for a hamster)
i dont no. dont think it will be too bad
just a tiny bit...he should be ok
I found this information on the net for you. Hamsters are very versatile in what foods they can eat, but it is important not to feed your hamsters citrus fruits, these include lemon, oranges, etc. Suitable foods are banana, apple, nuts, rice, beansprouts, pasta, chicken, egg, and hamster food. Feed your hamster a small amount of vegetable and fruit each day. Hamsters are omnivores and will accept meat and plant material, but it is not wrong to bring your hamster on plant material only. Hamsters must have a water supply nearby by means of a bottle or bowl. Without water a hamster will dehydrate quickly and could die. When feeding your hamster see how much it eats out of one bowl and then feed it the amount it ate the next day. The normal amount to feed them is one tablespoon for a Syrian. Feed your hamster a small amount of veg or fruit each day. Food will get stale if left in the cage too long and will lose their vitamin content, so store hamster food in an airtight container in a dark dry place. Typically a hamster should be fed on a diet containing over 19% protein.
