Question
Will bitter lime spray harm dwarf hamsters?

Answer
Hello,
thank you for your question.
I assume you want to use it to stop cage bar biting? I couldn't find a list of ingredients, but I think it's safe for dwarf hamsters. It might just not be that effective. Try providing new toys to chew and investigate frequently, bar chewing is a sign of boredom and often a too small cage. It can turn into stereotypical behavior very fast.
I hope I was of some help to you
