Hi all,

I decided to give hemp bedding a go to give my Syrian a new substrate to try. I bought the hugro brand from zooplus (quite small shavings that aren't very sharp or dusty), but as soon as I put a handful in to see what she thought she immediately started to eat it! Not just stuffing in cheeks either, properly chewing! I'm hoping it's safe for her to eat although I don't think she's consumed much, but I would like to put the rest in her cage ideally. I've read it's safe for mice to eat, but what about hammies?

Thanks!
