Is this toy safe
Icicle has decided she’s obsessed with this wooden ball from a toy. She chewed it off its string and I, always being paranoid, am worried she could choke on it
She can’t fit it in her mouth, but she can open her mouth just wide enough to hold onto it and I’m sure she can chew it down to a smaller size
Every time she sees it she picks it up and won’t put it down until it’s back in her cage with her, but once it’s in her cage she just leaves it in the corner
It’s from a toy made for hamsters and it has a small hole going through it

Hmm. She may be trying to pouch it - and might succeed. I think personally I'd take it away. Mean I know - maybe give her another wood chew.

Remove it. If she tries to carry it and gets her incisors stuck in the holes it will be a nightmare to remove.

Agree. You could give her a willow or seagrass ball instead.

Re: Is this toy safe
My hamster did something similar to this with a wooden ball that was hanging on a chew toy, I removed it also as was concerned he may try to pouch it.
