How old is the hampster? If she is still young, she probably is teething. Anything feels great to chew on when this happens. Same for babies, kittens and dogs.

Hamsters are rodents and their teeth constantly grow. They need to chew to wear them down. Get a ceramic bowl, metal wheel and a wooden house. Then if she chews it, it's not a problem.
