Hello, today i have gotten a new Russian Campbells Dwarf Hamster. He has a white coat and red eyes and i named him Snowy. When i arrived home i put him straight in his cage and instantly i noticed he started sneezing. This was repetitive but then calmed down. He then dug a little burrow and went to sleep for a while. Now he seems to be ok but every couple of minutes he sneezes. I am using wooden aspen shavings which i always use for hamsters. The shavings i used were from a couple of months old bag that was stored in the shed.Could this be a cause that it got too dust? If it is i have a brand new unopened bag i can use but I don’t want to upset him as its his first day.

Thanks,
Stuart.
