When do you change the bedding for your hamster?

What bedding can your hamster have?
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.
