There's not really a safe fabric unfortunately! I've thought about it, and even hemp when chewed would still have potential holes in it which with hamsters can lead to very serious injuries that just aren't worth it.

Just because something is made for rodent cages doesn't mean it'll work for all rodents, as every species is extremely different and something safe for one species may be incredibly dangerous to another. Even a very safe material like hemp can become unsafe in some forms, like fabric.
