Question Scratching pattern

My little man has been scratching himself behind his ear a lot today. Even when he's buried down in his house I can hear him go for it.

I'm not sure if it's the beeding, which are a mix of carefresh (blue) and regular wood shavings (I know, I know. I'm suspecting it being the culprit).

His eyes aren't running and he doesn't display any odd behavior: he's still active, still a gluttonous little pig (❤️) and still crazy about his wheel.

Every now and then he sneezes too but I'm not sure if it's him drowning himself in his new Sippy bottle or rolling too much in his (chinchilla)bath sand.

He has just recently gotten comfy in his new home (2 weeks only) so I'm not sure if changing the beeding is so bright?

I'll observe him tonight but I'm really worried. It's probably nothing. :3

Default Re: Scratching pattern

If you don't change the bedding it could get worse,which would be harmful anyways.It probably is the wood shavings,as hamsters don't really get allergies to paper type bedding.
