Default Bamboo

Greetings hamster lovers!

I was wondering if bamboo poses any health threat to hamsters, as it's an abundant and very versatile material. I was thinking of using it to create tunnels, housing and maybe even use some foliage to create a more "natural" feeling for the tiny ones.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions on the matter.

Cheers.

Default Re: Bamboo

Bamboo wood is safe for hams but I have no idea about the foliage.
If you mean you want to collect it yourself to make things then you will need to take care with where you get it from, nowhere that any chemicals of any kind have been used or near roads.
You would probably need to freeze it too just to be on the safe side in case of bugs, mites of any kind etc. I'm not sure if you can bake bamboo to sterilise it or not, someone else might know.
