Can hamsters chew on staples?
Hamsters will chew on anything. Some hamsters are chewers and others are not interested. They will chew on plastic, wood, metal and pretty much anything else if they want to. They need to chew to keep their incisors down as they grow. I've seen some pretty crazy chewing and I've yet to have seen a hamster break his teeth. Try some chews toys if you have a chewer. Little non-flavored Milkbones are always a favourite.

Ply wood is man-made and contains lots of glue to stick the wood together. It is dangerous for hamsters for this reason. Hamsters are also allergic to cedar wood so avoid that too. MDF also has glue in and shouldn't be used. If you a trying to make a hamster cage out of wood I don't recommend it because the hamster can chew through it and you cannot clean it well. Wood can grow fungus easy, as I found out when I put a wooden house in for my hamsters. Hope this was helpful!
