Kaytee Clean & Cozy White Bedding Pet For Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Hamsters, Gerbils, and Chinchillas, 49.2 Liters Small Animal Bedding

5.0 out of 5 stars Soft and Fluffy, Great for hamsters just like the experienced owners said. As someone who’s just started raising a hamster again after half a decade of my last one (RIP Yogi, you old fart), I was nervous about buying this bedding as reviews lately have been hit or miss, but hamster owners with experience still recommended this bedding highly so I took the gamble to try to buy it on a good day and got two 50 liter bags (Technically 49.2 but ya know, semantics), since this time I want to give my hamster the best I can get.It came out great, the packaging was secure, the bedding was soft and fluffy after fluffing it up out of the bag, and thankfully no big dust issues have arisen, which is extra great because I am very allergic to dust. I’ve only sneezed once while setting my new hamster’s (I got him almost a week ago as of writing this) cage up but I expected that given the type of bedding this is and it was only when I was trying to unpack it from the bag.My dwarf hamster has been burrowing under it (a good 6 inches of it) constantly and even has a frequent one he goes to in his cage’s corner because it holds them better than Carefresh since that brand is denser than this one. Not only that, it doesn’t smell, I’ve not had any odor come out of my new hamster’s cage. Maybe it’s too soon to tell, but I think it’s still a good sign, I doubt it’ll be hard to spot clean since hamsters don’t make big messes.The only “problem” I have with it is because it is a really expanding fluffy bedding, it is deceiving when you try to fill a 6 inch pan to the near top with it, since the hamster walking around it will flatten it over time due to its lack of density. I recommend adding a different substrate to it to help lessen that, Aspen is great. That’s not much of an issue but rather just a fault of what the product is made out of material-wise but it’s not too big a deal to be a detriment.Despite the gamble that is seen in the reviews, this bedding is still recommended for hamsters and for good reason. It’s soft, fluffy, safe for them to burrow in since it’s just paper, great for burrows at that, and although the dustiness has been stated to have risen over the products lifespan, it’s also been stated to be not as dusty as Carefresh would be which is why I chose this brand over that one. Lesser of the two evils in that regard, but I say get this for your hamsters nonetheless because the pros outweigh the cons when you get a good bag. 14 people found this helpful
