Is it safe if my hamster ate a tiny bit of sushi rice with vinegar?

Question

Hi. I made sushi rice, which is not just normal rice, but rice with just a little vinegar. In a bowl with 250 grams (uncooked) rice, I added just a couple of table spoons of vinegar after the rice was cooked, so it was very little, and I mixed it well. My question: My big syrian hamster ate a tiny bit of the rice yesterday. He seems normal and fine, is it dangerous that he might have gotten a tiniest bit of vinegar? There was barely anything on the rice, and he only had a few bites.. Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 8 months old | 0.25 lbs

Vinegar is not an item that should be fed to hamsters as it is too acidic. A tiny amount of vinegar is likely no cause for concern. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite or loose stool. If he is not symptomatic by now, he may be in the clear.
