Hello! I'm new to crochet me and fairly new to crochet. I've picked up amigurumi and am making a hamster for my niece, she is just over a year. and just realized the eyes might me a choking hazard!

I used Darice safety eyes with a plastic washer. Are they safe? Does anyone have experience with a kid gnawing off the eyeballs?! Do you suggest an alternative?

 thanks.
