I wouldn't recommend letting your hamster chew on a pencil. While it might seem like a harmless activity, there are a few reasons why it's not a good idea. First, pencils are made with graphite and wood, which could be toxic if ingested. Second, the hard and splintery texture of a pencil could damage your hamster's teeth. Finally, chewing on inedible objects like pencils could lead to pica, a condition where your hamster compulsively ingests non-food items. There are plenty of other, safer chew toys available for hamsters.

What shall I do when my hamster won't chew her wood block?

It's ok. My hamster trims her teeth by eating carrots and celery. You also find candy chewys at pet stores like pet smart. My hamster likes to chew on it every day since it has a different flavor rather than wood.


Can Hamsters have sticks to gnaw on?

If you have a wire cage, your hamster can chew on it all the time. Make sure you give him/her enough chew sticks. Your hamster needs enough things to chew on so that his/her front teeth don't grow too long then they won't be able to eat and pass away. On the other hand, if you have a like a cardboard box, (I'm pretty sure no one does) it is not OK yo let you hamster chew on its cage because they can chew a whole right threw the box then your hamster is gone.


If a hamster eats a pencil eraser will he be ok?

Are you absolutely sure she ate it, and didn't just pouch it and then spit it out later? Hams are generally fairly good at knowing what is and is not edible. A while ago I thought my hamster had eaten part of a wooden necklace, but it turns out she'd actually pouched it as I found it in her bedding when I next cleaned her cage out (why she wanted it I have no idea).

How do you get your hamster back when it ecscaped out of cage?

ok well first never scream or panic, that will scare it away even more, ok so well usually if u can't find it block off all stairs, and leave some food on the floor so your hamster could smell it and go to the food. If you see your hamster running but cant get a grip of it to catch it, get their hamster ball and try pushing him/her in it, or get a piece of food and hold it up to him/her so they could chew on it and calm down. I hope I helped!


Would it be ok too get a hamster in a pet shop?

Is it ok for a hamster to have a reddish and hairless part below its mouth?

Yes, it is likely their lower lip. They actually do have a visable lip. If it is a little below that and small, it is where they have been chewing on things and rubbing it. This is common if they chew the bars at night.
