I have read before that both pine and cedar are bad for hamsters and can lead to respiratory infections and liver diseases for the pet. When I went to the pet store, I was looking for a bedding that will absorb the odor better and read on the back of the pine bedding that it is actually safe and absorbs smells. Now I am not so sure if I should use it...
Yeahh, both can be very dangerous because of all the dust that can get in their lungs & whatnot. You should try Carefresh. It's a safe bedding & comes in different colors which is pretty cool. :)
yes i have a hamster and when were buying bedding for it one of the ladies that work there helped us pick out bedding and she said cedar bedding causes the hamster to have trouble breathing.
i use bedding thats made from wood pulp or recycled newspaper for my rabbit because that type was messing up her respitory system.
I think it messes with their respitory systems. I never really had a problem with it but thats what i've read several times.
That's the one I use and it gets very smelly. I'm looking for a wood shaving one now, if I can find one that's safe :/
i really do not understand why they would try to sell something that is harmful.
me either maybe its for a different type of animal not so sure
probably because its cheap to make and masks odors :/
