Hamster chew plastic slide
My sapphire hamster, Cookie, keeps chewing on her plastic slide and food bowl. What can I do?
I have tried mineral chew, whimzees, pet link wooden gnawing bedroom, pet link wooden log and toilet paper roll. She does chew on her toilet paper roll a little but she mainly chew on the slide and food bowl.
Pet shop staff said that it is okay for Cookie to chew on plastic and is normal but I have read online that it is not good for her.
What other chewing items can I try?

Re: Hamster chew plastic slide
You could try dog biscuits (I use biscrok) or greenies as an alternative to whimzees.
Some hams just don't chew things that much so I wouldn't worry, a good diet will keep teeth in check but do remove any plastic that's being chewed, remove the slide & any plastic toys/houses that get chewed & either switch to a ceramic food bowl or just scatter feed.

Re: Hamster chew plastic slide
Remove the plastic bowl and use a ceramic one. Use solid wood ramps and platforms.
Bendy bridges can make good ramps.
