What are some good chew toys for Hamsters2007-11-24 22:16:31

Well the question is pretty self explanatory.

Right now my Hamster has a wooden log thing. He seems to climb over it an through it a lot but no chewing.

He also has something called "Krunchies" Natural Gnaw bones for hamsters, Guinea pigs..I do not think I have ever seen him touch it since the first day I had him.

I have had him for 10 days.

I've (currently) got two hamsters and while I provide them both with a wide variety of chew toys (wooden chew sticks, plastic beds and tubes they seem to like chewing on, cardboard tubes, and chicken flavored chew sticks) I've noticed that one of my hamsters will only chew on plastic, he ignores all of his other chew toys; the other hamster will go through phases: at first he would only chew on wood, then he ignored wood and would only chew on the chicken flavored chew sticks, now he ignores everything else and only chews on cardboard...well, my point is

1- are you should your hamster isn't chewing on something else in the hamster? such as a bed or his wheel?

2- some hamsters are picky about what they chew on so it's important to do what you're doing and look for more chew toys to offer him (good for you)

there are a variety of things you can chose from:

I would try things of different textures, hardness, and flavors...
