Or another name for this thread could have been "What happens when you give a hamster a green hamster chew toy from Pets at Home".
We bought these hamster chews last week. They were in the shape of large toothbrushes, one coloured pink, one coloured green. Tonight Teresa gave Chip the green one. Chip worked at it furiously for about an hour turning it in to mush. I then noticed she had undergone a slight transformation...
"What do you mean I am green?"
"Must clean it off... IT WON'T COME OFF!!"
"I am so depressed. Nothing left to do but comfort eat now!"
The offending chew toy (or what was left of it!)
The worst of it seems to have brushed off, so hopefully she will return to normal soon. Overall I am not too impressed with that chew toy (imagine giving that to your prized show hamster the night before going to a hamster show!).
I am however toying with the idea of giving the pink chew toy to Ice, my white dwarf hamster... mwooo ha haaaaaa (that was a joke by the way before anyone takes me seriously and flames me!!
