Cedar Bedding


Store Description (from Petsmart http://www.petsmart.com/) : A clean environment is essential to the well-being of your pet. Made with 100% natural red cedar, this bedding not only creates a fresh aroma, but repels fleas and insects. Shavings are kiln dried and then specially processed to eliminate dust and other debris that may be harmful. Ideal for small animals, dogs and cats. $11.99
Review: Although this bedding repels odors and insects, it is not a safe bedding for your hamster. Veterinarians say that the strong aroma of the cedar chips can overwhelm a hamster's acute sense of smell, and the dye in the chips carry chemicals. Instead, try to use non-scented or earth friendly bedding. These will feel more natural and comfortable for the hamster.
