Default Zhu Zhu Pets

I was cleaning up the basement when I stumbled on a bunch of Zhu Zhu Pet accessories. Can I use these for a real hamster? They're made from non-toxic plastic. I plan to use the tubes, the carriage (looks like this - http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/...s-carriage.jpg) as a toilet with the wheels removed, as well as the top part of the castle (looks like this, stickers removed -http://www.toykingdom.co.za/photos/800/800/PT29116.jpg) for a divider between the substrate and the sand.
Obviously, I know they aren't designed for real hamsters, but would it work? For the castle all of the pink/purple tower parts and the flag are removed in case of an accidental ingestion.

I wouldn't really see much benefit in it as it's not made for hamsters and thus it really doesn't need to be safe (though some hamster specific items aren't safe!) However, there really wouldn't be much harm in it granted it's not painted, 100% non-toxic, and has never come into contact with toxic substances. Make sure there's no sharp pieces or other hazards and constantly monitor for chewing. If there's any chewing at all, you'll need to remove the item immediately. Just my opinion! Definitely an interesting question though I must say

Ok!
I'm getting a hamster sometime next month, so we'll see how it goes!
