Ez, it’s obviously fake (the hamster would try to move & it’s not like you don’t notice a magnet stuck to a cage either) but a funny fantasy story, sort of an early boomer-humour.
Considering the little girl brought it in, it’s definitely more plausible she wouldn’t notice the magnet. And considering the amount of parents who give hamsters as pets and never take any responsibility over it themselves, even more so.
But I’d also assume, with no real insight into the behavior of hamsters, that one in this situation would wind up either tearing it’s cheek off (depending on the strength of the magnet) or figuring out it can dislodge / move enough to free it.
A magnet that was strong enough to keep the hamster in place would be applying enough pressure to the flesh between the magnet and cage to destroy the tissue, due to lack of circulation, over 3 days.
If this was even remotely true the hamster would be seriously injured and severely dehydrated, not walking around normally. This isn’t even considering the damage that it would do to itself while trying to escape.

It’s a fake story
