I had a look around the very appealing reptile section of a small petshop.
They had cork pieces and tunnels of various shapes and sizes, small branches from South African wood and other exotic looking wooden items. The cork seems quite crumbly and dusty earthy on the inside but the lovely African woods are smooth.
When i asked the shopkeeper if i could use these reptile items for a hamster his face went blank and he pointed me towards the rodent section.
Does anyone know if reptile items would be safe to use in a hamster cage?
Henry strips bark off wood sticks when he's annoyed and he has been quite stroppy lately so a big piece of cork or bark would be ideal for him to get his teeth in.
