Answer
Dear Jenny,
thank you for your question.
It won't harm your hamster to live on pine bedding for a few days. The problem is that pine is a resinous wood and rodents (as most other animals) can react allergic to it or can develop respiratory problems because of it, but that takes some time.
I hope I was of some help to you
