Potty litter

Question
My hamster is a Russian. My hamster appears to be either storing in his cheeks and/or eating pieces of his potty litter. The brand I use is Super Pet's brand. The package states that the litter is safe, all natural and non toxic, but will it block in my hamster's digestion? Answer ASAP please!

Answer
Hi Chelsea,

Your hamster is most likely not eating his litter; rather, he is storing it in his cheek pouches and transporting it somewhere else.  So, don't worry about him eating it - he shouldn't.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
