hamster bedding

Question
is it ok to use pine bedding for my dwarf hamster? we used to use aspen, but we couldnt find it at our local store. so we got pine. and im worried if it'll hurt her in any way.

Answer
Hello Kayla,
it's not a good idea to use pine bedding. It can cause your hamster to lose fur and have a serious reaction. Ceder and Pine are the worst beddings in my opinion for small animals because they have also been known to cause liver and lung diseases.
