When it's time to choose bedding for the cage of a tiny pet, like a hamster, keep in mind that anything scented or dusty is considered dangerous for your furry friend. While Aspen shavings are the only wood option considered safe, the ASPCA suggests simple paper. You may want to experiment with a few brands to see which one your rodent enjoys burrowing into the best. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

February 04, 2019:

Comfort as well as safety are a top priority when choosing bedding for a hamster, due to their delicate respiratory systems so we chose favorite formulas from top brands in the pet supply industry that really understand the needs of small pets. The Care Fresh Natural took the top spot because they make their own paper.
