Answer 2

I used something like that. Its completely safe. I wish I could tell you what its made of but.... Its a great toy!

Answer 3

Though the product says that the colors are pet safe, I would personally never use it. When there are other healthier options for chewing like empty toilet roll tubes (which double as ganwing and tunneling toy) and dog biscuits (which hamsters love to chew on), why go in for something that has added color in it.

Answer 4

I don't think that would be a good material for any animal to chew on. "Lava Dots" are colored pieces of lava rock. Would you give your pet a rock to chew on?

Not only would I be concerned about the coloring (even though it says it's safe for your pet) but I wouldn't want the hamster to possibly ingest pieces of the rock or inhale dust as he chews.  

Answer 5

well, if i were you i would not waste the money on them. first off hamsters can only detect movement with their eyes, so theyre not going to care about the color. secondly, you can just get some dog biscuits for them to chew on. theyre tasty and really good for wearing down their teeth
