Don't worry! Hamsters and any other rodents do this. It's normal! Think about it. If they were running around the house they would be eating and chewing everything. That's why people don't like mice or rats in their house is because they chew stuff up. He'll be fine don't worry.

Answer 4

Keep a close eye on it.  If it starts retching (trying to puke but nothing comes up) or puking, stops eating for much longer than normal, or stops passing stool for a long period of time, get it to a vet.  But if it keeps eating and pooping like normal, it's fine.

Answer 5

Please rush it to the the doctor fast because, plastic is not good for animals and human beings directly to eat.

It may cause Death
