Question
hi kelly,
i got my hamster a couple of days ago and bought a wooden chew strawberry, its looks like she has chewed a little bit but she seems to have stopped biting it.
do i need to worry?

Answer
Hi Ellee,

No, you don't need to worry.  However, you may want to provide your hamster with other chew toys (just to keep her interested).  A hamster won't let its teeth grow too long unless it has nothing to chew on.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
