My hamster is currently on, reduced dust, kiln dried, mixed softwood shavings.

I live in the UK. Someone has told me that if I'm in the UK the standard that the wood shavings has to be upheld to should be good and my hamster should be ok on it.

It doesn't state the specifics of each tree used in the shavings but this is a very popular shavings for horse owners who have horses with respiratory issues or sensitive horses.

This product is also designed so it can be used on small animals.

If this bedding isn't safe enough by itself would mixing it with some diy paper bedding work? Would thst make it safer?

My current little Russian hybrid loves to dig in it and make little homes and getting enough aspen to fill all three of her cages enough so she can dig in it is going to be expensive for me, and i currently dont have that much money!

Looking for good opinions (please dont be nasty)

Also if i treat fire wood with boiling water once I've cut the holes in it can i use it for my hamster to make little diy toys?
