Default Re: Safe toy materials for inside cage - fleece, etc.?

Fleece isn't advisable for most hamsters as there is a risk of them chewing it which can be dangerous if ingested, some hams are ok, Chinese hams almost always are but Syrians are far more likely to chew it.
That suspension bridge definitely shouldn't be used, open rung ladders & small chains are just an accident waiting to happen, they can fall from or through open rung ladders & get feet trapped in small chains.

Paint on toys from P@H should be safe if sold for small pets but if in doubt it's best to avoid things.

Sisal is safe & I would think that coloured toy from P@H would be safe for them, not sure it would be of interest to a ham though!

Wooden climbing frames generally don't tend to be safe, some wooden toys do seem to have way too much glue but the glue should be safe but it's not always something you can be sure of, also be aware of tiny tacks or nails in some natural wood toys & always check things over to make sure there's nothing like that which could hurt a ham.
