Opinions will vary on whether it is safe or not to reuse toys from other hamsters,but you can't deny that wood soaks things up so at the very least this is a concern.
Definitely good to mention that people can do something and get off lucky,much like people have used things such as cotton fluff and had nothing happen while it is commonly known how dangerous it is and how so many people have already lost or nearly lost pets to it.

I certainly agree, I wonder, is there perhaps a way to rid of the vinegar and moisture nearly completely? Either way it's a good point with the cotton fluff example, better safe than sorry!
