In the wild, hamsters naturally create burrows deep underground to find food while protecting them from predators. Therefore, enclosures require bedding depth to be a minimum of 8-10 inches. Many large pet chains sell unsuitable bedding for small animals that can cause respiratory issues - DO NOT purchase sawdust, wood shavings i.e., pine or cedar shavings as these contain high levels of phenols which can be irritant to animals eyes/skin & can also cause respiratory issues.

Below are suitable bedding for hamsters with some website links. Treats 4 Squeaks has no affiliation/association/sponsors with any products. All products have been personally used for my own hamsters. Treats 4 Squeaks is not responsible for injury/death of your pet.

Please note, all bedding should be unscented.
