I got this bed about a week ago for Gucci to snuggle in:

And she absolutely loves it! However she's chewed at the material so now the bed's stuffing is hanging out. It looks like the stuff that's used to stuff cuddly toys. I've took it out because I was worried about her eating the fluffy stuff and it causing a blockage. It says on the website that it's completely safe. What do you all think?
 
I am thinking they could possibly cause a blockage since she is constantly chewing things so I've took it out for tonight. Quite disappointed as she was really enjoying snuggling up and climbing across it.
Any suggestions as to what I could use for an alternative? She has a plastic pigloo at the moment but I wanted something soft and fleecy. :{
 
Did consider that but the cage she's in isn't really suitable, also I don't like the idea of things hanging as she could get caught up in them!
 
The wording certainly suggests that it is safe but I think youve done the right thing removing it just in case. Ive got a couple of snuggle accessories in the girls cage but luckily they have never chewed them.
 
Have you binned it Tracy?

If not why not stuff it with shredded paper? It's still soft & won't matter if she does chomp it :)

I too wouldn't use the stuffing, it's not recommended for hamsters as not only can it cause choking but it can entangle round toes & legs.
