Both are complete sentences.
- "Joey Wheeler's hamster spends all day nibbling on carrots." has a clear subject ("Joey Wheeler's hamster") and predicate ("spends all day nibbling on carrots").
- "That is its favorite pastime." also has a subject ("That," referring to the hamster's nibbling) and a verb ("is") with a predicate nominative ("its favorite pastime"), so it is not a fragment.
