Ive had a hamster for about 7 months now and ive kept him in pine bedding which i just recently read could potentially harm him should i get a new bedding or will he be ok it hasnt affected him at all?
I just got a hamster and the pet store gave him to me in woodshavings. Then i realized that his skin became irritated. So what I did was hop on line and learned that TOILET PAPER!!! was the best kind of bedding. Its easier to clean and your hamster will love it because its fun to burrow in. When I switched bedding's my hamster Gible became the most happiest hamster Ive ever seen.

You should never use pine or cedar bedding for your pet hamster. Cedar bedding is a rough material that can cause splintering, chapped feet and is almost impossible to correctly digest.
