Default Are these safe for my hamster??

The lion and elephant smell like chemicals, but I'm going to fix that with disinfectant and a good washing

I have certainly seen other people use them. Give them a good wash and see how they smell!

They should all be fine as long as you size them appropriately to species!

They all look fine assuming they're for a dwarf hamster - they'd be too small for a Syrian. I'd be careful with things made from popsicle sticks - they need to be secure - there are stories of injuries after things like that collapsing on or under a hamster!

As for the smell - I find the best way to get rid of such things is leave them outside overnight - fresh air does more than any rinsing or disinfectant

Thank you all! The lolly stick house I made myself, made sure there was no glue sticking out, but made sure to use glue that would dissolve if eaten (I'm getting a dwarf hamster)
