Default kapok seed pods

I was thinking to buy some kapok seed pods, as they here in Denmark are considered the only safe choice for hamsters (when it comes to hamster cotton and so on).

But when i wanted to buy them I found several warnings.
Si I thought I would aske you guys in here.
Are they safe or not safe?

Thank you

Not safe. Just like the awful fluffy bedding that many pet shops still sell.

I think it's something you have to decide for yourself, generally here in the UK they are considered unsafe while in Germany they're used a lot & considered safe, confusing I know.
Personally I prefer not to take chances with any kind of fibre like that.

Ty guys
I was considering this as it here is considered as safe, like you (cypher) say it is in Germany. I'm glad I dobbelt checked ^^
I would never take a chance like this if there is just a small risk.
So no Kapok pods for my hammies ^^
