While some glues are labeled as non-toxic, they can still be harmful to hamsters. The ingredients in glue can cause:
* Gastrointestinal upset: Glue can irritate the digestive system, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
* Blockage: Glue can solidify in the digestive tract, causing a blockage that can be life-threatening.
* Toxicity: Even non-toxic glues can contain chemicals that are harmful to hamsters in small amounts.
It's important to keep all glues and other household products out of reach of hamsters.
If you suspect your hamster has eaten glue, contact your veterinarian immediately.
