Hi! I know that the market for hamster things is very vast, and often times probably not very safe.
I'm quite a protective ham mum, and I am always a bit wary of the things pet shops sell that are 'suitable for hamsters'. I have listed a couple of things as sort of examples that I am hesitant to trust. If anyone could let me know if they are safe and I'm overreacting, or if there are actually any other sorts of toys that are marketed for hamsters but are unsafe, please do!
I like the idea of having something quite fleecey in the cage. Is this a problem if the hamster ingests any? Assuming I should remove it if I see they are chewing it? (Not necessarily this toy, but something made of similar materials)

I saw a unicorn wood chew in Pets at Home and the paint on the wood really didn't look like it's overly natural or non-toxic? (Can't find it listed online)
Are the strands on this/other sissal-y toys dangerous at all?

I've also heard about some of the wooden climbing frames having very bad glue. Are there any in particular I should actively avoid purchasing?
Aaaaand overall, you can see that I am a very rusty hamster owner who is very overprotective in her imagination! Please do remind me that they are hardy things and that most things are safe, if I am overreacting
