My sister has Living World Pine shavings for her hamsters bedding. I've heard that pine bedding is toxic and I would like to know if it will kill her hamster? thanks
no hampsters are not real, however it is toxic for hamsters, because of the stuff it releases.
YES YES YES DO NOT BUY PINE OR CEDAR BEDDING. the dust they breathe in from it will kill them over time. buy ONLY aspen or UNDYED carefresh bedding
Although I have never had hamsters, I have had guinea pigs and ran into a problem of another sort with pine bedding with my first guinea pig. Somehow my guinea pig managed to get a piece of pine bedding stuck in his rear end. He could not get it out and began biting himself. While this was going on, I walked by his cage and noticed he was bleeding from his rear. I took him to the vet who was able to remove the piece and then give him antibiotics. The vet told me that the best kind of bedding is a softer type of bedding called Carefresh. According to Carefresh's manufacturers, this bedding is all-natural and does not contain chemical contaminants. So this is another reason why I use Carefresh bedding, although this does answer your question. Carefresh is a safer alternative as a bedding for your pets.
Well, okorder /2 and other printed paper as bedding because your hamster may consume the ink when they are tearing up the paper to make a nest. Make sure to take care of your hamster everyday! Hope I Helped! ~pipe~
