Yes it is a great bedding material for hamsters and all small rodents really. Designed for horses but slowly they are realising there is a market out there for other animals. It is very absorbent without swelling in contact with water so I am not concerned if they pouch it. They make lovely huge fluffy nests with it too which nice and warm at this time of year. It is completely dust extracted made from virgin wood pulp and produced by high temperature drying (reaching temperatures of up to 500°C) which not only removes the moisture from the wood pulp but kills off moulds, spores and bacteria. It has the added environmental advantage of being biodegrabable.
