So I went to the pet shop today and they have christmas bits out.

Some of their wooden chews for hamsters are lasercut plywood. They still have burn marks around the edges from being lasercut which i'm not sure is safe and they are made of plywood (you can see the separate layers of wood that were glued together).
I heard plywood was maybe a material to avoid in hamster things because of the resin glue used to glue the layers together. In case you were wondering it's urea formaldehyde.

Are these chews unsafe? Should I contact the chain?
