(Idk if this shpuld go under teeth sorry) my mom helped me make bean a homemade hide with pillow and all earlier. She loves it shes currently napping in it. But when i first let her explore it she was ripping the side corners and pulling the thread out and eating it. (She does this alot to the strings on my couch pillows but sje never shows any issues about eating those but i obviously make her stop.) But bean was eating the thread and finally i stuck my hand in, bc she wouldn't listen when i said to stop, and tried to pull the thread away from her but she completely attacked my hand even when i moved it out of her hide she followed my hand and kept badly biting. Do you think its bad for her to eat the thread, she didnt have alot im just afriad she eventually will bc if im not there when she uses her hide she will probably eat more.

Sorry, but you need to throw that hidey out. Not only will she eat the thread, but she'll eat the batting as well, and that can cause an intestinal blockage which could kill her.

Safe guinea pig "furniture" is made with fleece or something else that doesn't ravel.
