I'm trying to find out too. Good luck on your quest for knowledge!
yes, but they prefer other.
NO. you can use Chinchilla sand for your hamster to bathe in though
Shredded newspaper is fine to use for bedding for any hamster, but if you think you hamster is slightly uncomfortable you can always add some real hamster bedding, it will save you money. :)
Hamsters can have only wood shaving bedding. This is because with paper bedding, they will eat it, store it in their cheeks and get an infection. While most wood shaving beddings are okay, you want to stay away from cedar bedding. Cedar bedding irritates the hamster's skin and causes hair loss. Aspen bedding is definitely safe for the hamster to use.
Use shredded toilet paper. i am not sure about hamster bedding. also if you can, find dry leaves and use these
Sanitize the cage and get new bedding and the cage is good as new!
It would probably be best to not use tissues for the bedding. You should put some tissue for your hamster to use to make a nest, but not really as a bedding. It is not absorbent enough if there is too few and the hamster may have trouble walking around in the cage if there is too much.
You can use normal bedding , but it's BEST if you use news paper. You rip up any way you want and put it in their cage!
the answer lies with in you.
Wood shavings or maybe even toilet paper.
i think so. on the carefresh package i use for my hamster and guinea pig there is a picture of animals you can use the stuff for and a snake is on there.
Yes, newspaper ink can be toxic to hamsters if ingested, so it is not recommended as bedding material. It's best to use safe bedding options for hamsters like aspen shavings, paper-based bedding, or commercial hamster bedding from pet stores.
