Exclamation help!! overgrown teeth?

Just popped in to see Cinnamon and she poked her head out of her bed. She did a big yawn and I noticed her bottom teeth look extremely long compared to when I last looked. I'd say they are about a 1 and a half cm long (a complete guesstimation) but looking on google at overgrown hammy teeth her's seem to be worryingly long She has a hanging gnaw stick, a row of wooden gnaw blocks and a hay chewy ball thing..what am I doing wrong?!
Do you think it's possible that because I give her small treats every night she is not interested in her museli or gnaw stick? Although it seems to go down well enough I've gotten myself into a right worry now
Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: help!! overgrown teeth?

Can she still eat/chew things? If not, take her to the vet to have them trimmed before they start to grow into her cheeks. If she can still eat and everything, perhaps try a more tempting gnaw item?
I'm not sure what hamsters are like, but my rats are not interested in wood in the slightest, but give them something rubbery and they're gnawing away like no one's business. Have you tried hard dog chews? They're often very tempting for little fuzzies. Hope she's alright!
