Question
Hi Karen,
I own a 3 month old Syrian hamster and I use Carefresh bedding. I have heard that Aspen shavings are better, but don't they have more dust and oils? Is Carefresh harmful in anyway to my hamster?
Sarah

Answer
Hi Sarah,

    The aspen bedding may have some dust in it but is not harmful to hamsters.
    Carefresh is also a good bedding for hamsters and will not harm your hamster in anyway.
    If you have anymore questions, please write again.

Thank you for writing!
