Re: Poorly Robo *THE DANGERS OF FLUFFY BEDDING*
Sorry Poms. Souffle is right and I didn't check the post date. Now I'm embarrassed. Ahem.

Re: Poorly Robo *THE DANGERS OF FLUFFY BEDDING*
It's ok. Jam was with The Cloud my first robo and such an unbelievably special little guy. I'm just so thankful he survived to have the lovely life he did.

Re: Poorly Robo *THE DANGERS OF FLUFFY BEDDING*
I am so glad I read this post. I am so glad Jam recovered to live a full and happy life. I have only just started keeping hamsters. I too made the same mistake of thinking that fluffy bedding would be nice for the winter. It says it is "digestible" on the packet, but I have removed all traces of it now. I am using shredded loo roll in one nest and straw in the other and I will see which one they prefer (so that I know which one to use in the future). Thank you Pompompoms for allowing this thread to be accessible to everyone, even though Jam has passed. I think I will follow your lead and also start speaking to people in pet shops about the dangers of such bedding.

Re: Poorly Robo *THE DANGERS OF FLUFFY BEDDING*
This post is crazy. That stuff should be taken off the market. No one would buy it if they knew would could happen. It came in a tube i got for my piggies but i took it out once i was told it was unsafe so thankfully nothing happened to them. I wonder if there is a way to get it forced off the market.

Re: Poorly Robo *THE DANGERS OF FLUFFY BEDDING*
OK, so yesterday I read this post for the first time and immediately removed all traces of fluffy bedding from Hannah and Sophie's cage and replaced it with loads of shredded toilet paper and a bit of organic (soft not spiky) hay. This morning I awoke to find all of the new bedding material strewn across all of their cage and the two of them huddled in their nest shivering!!!
I mean is this some king of fluffy bedding protest?! I have turned the heating up to full and drawn the curtain to stop any drafts. I have refilled their nest with TP and hay and they are just going to have to get used to it because there is no way I am going to give them fluffy bedding again!
Have any of you ever had this experience after changing bedding material (not specifically fluffy style, just any bedding in general?)

Re: Poorly Robo *THE DANGERS OF FLUFFY BEDDING*
They have warmed up nicely now and are sleeping soundly - I thought I would update in case any of you were worried about them. I will be with them all day to keep an eye on them but I think they are fine, they were just being silly little fluff fluffs!

Some of my hams sometimes do that if I don't shred the paper first.

Re: Poorly Robo *THE DANGERS OF FLUFFY BEDDING*
It takes them a while to learn how to make a nest out of toilet paper etc, fluffy bedding is for lazy hams! Once they learn though, it takes up quite a lot of their time ^.^
