Product Information

Since being presented with the kapok bedding ingestion evidence The RVC changed their advice. The old leaflet just referred to cotton bedding, the advice from the RVC is now updated to include the wider term “ fluffy bedding”. Dr Joanna Hedley has also confirmed that “ fluffy bedding is not recommended and can carry a serious risk of obstruction if ingested” One safe at-home method is to use a syringe filled with lukewarm water to rinse the debris gently. But here’s the caveat: it’s always best to consult a medical professional if you need clarification. They can advise you on the best way to remove cotton safely, avoiding any potential damage.

Since hamsters are very small and fragile, harnesses and leashes can easily cause them injury. They also prevent hamsters from following their natural flight behavior, which can cause considerable stress. [14] Cotton fluff [ edit ] This wealth triggered the British Industrial Revolution and the invention of machines including the Spinning Jenny and water frame that could spin the raw cotton faster, creating even more low cost cotton fabric to sell across the world. In February 2021, Solicitors – Advocates for Animals wrote to the remaining major retailers in The UK and showed them further advice from reputable sources. The increased British demand for raw cotton had an impact on the increased amount of cotton grown in America along with the increase of the slave trade.Well-designed wire-top cages are designed with doors that are specifically placed to allow humans to open them as needed, accessing any part of the pen. [7] Wire-top cages that are built with a cantilever design for the upper levels, may wobble if not designed properly. The wobbling may upset hamsters, who prefer stable ground. [7] Ideally, wire-top cages should have a securely fastened plastic base attached to the wire frame so that the entire pen can be transported without risk of separating or compromising the cage structure. [7] Plastic tank cages [ edit ] Sawdust contains very fine wood shavings and this makes it very dusty. For years Pet Shops have been saying this is suitable and it has been commonly used. However it is now known that the dust from Sawdust can lead to respiratory infections in small animals. This is now widely discussed for example research centre SATRA say “very fine particles in sawdust can cause respiratory problems for all animals, especially for small ones such as guinea pigs and hamsters”. If constantly breathing in the small dust particles isn’t bad enough it is also thought that fine dust can irritate a hamsters eyes.

[16] If their cage includes a suitable enclosed room, then the hamster is likely to use that room as a toilet area. [16] Hamster keepers may suggest a toilet area to a hamster by putting soiled hamster bedding into the specific area. [16] A large jar may be used as a toilet, but it must be removed and cleaned regularly.
