          i. Cotton Fluff

          by Lauphira

          Cotton fluff, which is actually more

           nesting material than bedding, should

          be avoided. As soft and comfortable

           as it may seem, it is one of the most

           dangerous types of bedding. Unlike

           paper and wood, cotton fibers don't

           break down in water so If your pet eats

          it, he or she will not be able to digest it,

           and will consequently die from blockages

           to the digestive system. Furthermore,

           the long fibers can easily tangle around

           the little one's feet which can lead to

           blood being cut off. Last but not least

           cotton fluff is a choking hazard as it can

           get caught in the throat easily. In other

           words please don't give your hamster

           this as it can very easily kill them.

         ii. Carefresh

          by Lauphira

          Carefresh review

          Today I’m going to be reviewing

           carefresh bedding. It’s available in the

           USA, Canada and the UK. It is a paper

          based bedding.

          Pros

          *completely safe

          *comes in a variety of colours

          *great for burrows

          Cons

          *on the more expensive side

          *some bags have a strange scent,

             it’s not bad just a little weird

          *not as soft and fluffy as some beddings

          Conclusion

           I think this is a great bedding to use

           and it’s great for colour themed

           enclosures at it comes in many different

           colours. I currently use it for Luna and

           haven’t had any problems so far so I

           would definitely recommend it.

         iii. Eco Earth

          by Vertigo

          Eco earth is made out of coconut fiber.

           This substrate is great for digging. The

           price is fairly cheap and looks great in

           naturalistic themed enclosures. The only

           downside is the mess it creates.

           Definitely recommended trying some

           out with your hamster(s).

         iv. Hemp

          by Nyctophilia

          Hemp bedding is made from the hemp

          plant, and is perfectly safe for hamsters.

           It can often be found in farm stores in

           bulk at a low price, making it a popular

          option for people on a budget.

           Hemp is generally softer than aspen,

           although it depends on the brand. It

           does a decent job at absorption, and

           some say that it holds burrows well,

           while others don’t. The smell of hemp

           is also debatable among people with

           some hating the smell, and some

           thinking there is no smell. It usually has

           little to no dust. One downside is that

          many people report being allergic to

           hemp bedding, so if you’re a person

           with allergies, it may be better to avoid.

           If you’re looking for a cheap and basic

          bedding, I’d definitely suggest trying

          out hemp.
