silicone baking pan
Has anyone tried silicone baking pans for such things as the sand box or diy wheel? or will Syrians nibble? thanks

Re: silicone baking pan
Hi and welcome to HC!
Silicone is too soft and a hamster would nibble and tear it. They are curious creatures and will do a nibble check to see what something new is made of.
Silicone may well be harmful if ingested so definitely not something to use in a hamster habitat.

Re: silicone baking pan
Keep them for your own baking and such, but definitely don't use them for hamsters. As Ria P mentions silicon baking pans and such are quite soft - more than soft enough for hamsters to chew them which presents the risk of accidental ingestion.
While silicon itself is considered non toxic that doesn't mean it should be eaten. Many things are labelled non toxic but should never be ingested - think BPA free plastics(non toxic but completely indigestible), Elmer's glue(basically plastic, synthetic petroleum, I could go on for longer about this one but I won't) and similar PVA glues, and many other common household items.
