My hamster will be moved out of my room while the shelf is being built, as all the sawdust flying everywhere can't be good, but after that, is it safe?
Now, I realize how stupid this post will sound if there truly is nothing to worry about, but I would rather be safe than sorry!
I don't see why it would be unsafe. I mean i don't see how it will affect them if it's not in their cage or used as a playpen/toy for them?
