So sorry to hear this - it is an awful thing to happen. I have not heard of an issue like this with Carefresh before. There was a patch where people were concerned about baking soda in it causing death to hammies, but someone from Carefresh posted on here last year to confirm there was no baking soda in Uk Carefresh and they had stopped putting it in the US version. I prefer Fitch anyway - it works out much cheaper, less dusty and is just paper so dissolves if it gets wet.
