my hamster just ate a small bit of a petal off a daffodil
Okay long story short because I’m slightly worried as daffodils are very toxic to hamsters, whilst out of her cage my syrian hamster took a little bit off the petal of a daffodil and pouched it. I was unsure of what to do so I quickly took her up and gave her food and bedding so she’ll pouch it because then normally she takes everything out of her pouch into her nest. She did this and I couldn’t find the bit of the petal so I’m a bit worried she has eaten it. It wasn’t much and was the petal, however I’m still unsure. Does anyone have any advice? Also I can’t take her to the vets now as it’s night time where I am, that’s if she needs to. I’ve been checking on her and she’s alright and sleeping, still her usual.

Re: my hamster just ate a small bit of a petal off a daffodil
Just keep checking on her. If she is behaving fine then that is good. I think the symptoms of poisoning from daffodils include vomiting as well as other things, so as long as she is ok in herself then it's unlikely she's been poisoned.
It might be an idea to do a full cage clean though and replace all the substrate, nesting material and replace the hoard with new food. A bit stressful for a hammy but it's the only way you'll know it's not lurking around waiting to be nibbled.
Make sure you hide a few treats here and there to distract her from the upset of the cage clean!

I totally agree with what Serendipity said. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that she continues to act fine.
