What Ria said. In fact if the hay hasn’t been frozen first I would also clean out the cage base thoroughly before putting new substrate in. Very common to get mites in hay.

I use Fitch rather than Kaytee C&C. Similar but comes in a 10kg bag, lasts months, dust free and hamsters love it. It’s recycled food grade paper. It’s white. Poops show up really well lol. If you wanted something more natural looking you can get Kaytee C&C in natural colour but I found the coloured ones smell a bit of ink at first.
