OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please help!?

Question

Ok so I let my hamster out of her cage and put her on the couch so I could pet her and hold her and stuff and my pillow was on the couch because I took a nap earlier that day, so anyway she started to put my pillow case in her cheek pouch and taking it out and I thought oh no big deal she going to realize that its not food and stop doing that. But then when I put her back in her cage I noticed that there was a chunk of my pillow case missing! So she chewed off a peice of my pillow case and was in her cheek pouch! so I went into her cage to look for it and I found the tag to my pillow in there and took it out, but I didnt find the pillow case, is it bad if she ate it? What should i do if she did eat it?

Answer 1

You should take it to a vet, they can remove it from her cheek pouch.

Answer 2

I do not think this is a very big deal. You are worrying too much lol. If she ate a toxic substance, like detergent or poison, then i would be worrying. But in this case, the pillow case will probably just get digested and excreted. Just like it would if you are the pillow case.

Keep on treating her normally. If she, by some chance, does act poorly in the next few days, just take her to the vet. Or ring them up and ask over the phone. They will advise you whether or not to bring her in.

Answer 3

It could or could not be bad, she might just use the pillow case for her nest or she MIGHT have swollowed it

Answer 4

She did not eat it.  Hamsters are not idiots, if anything she just used it for her bed.  Don't stress, animals can take care of themselves more than what we give them credit for.

Answer 5

take her to the vet to have her pouches cleared out.

Answer 6

don't worry, the pillow case is what? cotton?  it won't kill your hamster.  she probably still have it in her pouch and her intention is to use it as bedding.  maybe it's still in her pouch and since you are freaking out, she may not spit it out cuz you are freaking her out!  just leave her alone give her some time to relax and she will let it out!  she probably thinks the pillowcase is nice and soft and wants to use it as her bed! don't worry!

Answer 7

it could choke or get sick i would take it to vet you never know what cann happen.
