Re: Would a hamster attempt to chew a sewing needle?
1) Remove hamster from cage.
2) Remove everything from hamster cage. Throw away all bedding and substrate.
3) Tip cage upside down to make sure needle is no longer there.
4) Replace everything and put in all-new bedding/substrate.
5) Monitor hamster for any signs of discomfort or illness.
I doubt a hamster would try to chew a sewing needle but it is extremely dangerous if a needle is amongst his or her bedding or in the substrate. It could very easily injure the hamster.
To be honest I would have immediately removed the hamster from the cage until I find the needle or completely changed all bedding and substrate.
