Cedar does not kill chickens. As a breeder of rare chickens, I use and have used cedar shavings for many years and have never had a problem. My free range birds roost in aromatic red cedar trees within the fenced property and although I have heard the above answer many times I have yet to see any empirical evidence that the oils released from cedar shaving does anything but make the chicken coop smell fresh and sweet.

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.

Always provide good nesting and laying boxes. If they continue to lay in strange places, it might take them awhile to figure out what the boxes are for. Try to set objects were they usually lay so they can't lay in that spot.
