Shredded Paper, Cereal Boxes and similar things
It seems that a lot of people use things like shreaded loo roll for bedding and stuff like cereal boxes, tissue boxes etc for toys. I'm just wondering exactly how safe using these sorts of things actually are?
White loo roll will be bleached to get it that very "white" white, coloured loo roll will use dyes to get it whatever colour it is.
Loo roll holders (the cardboard things) often have numbers, letters etc printed on them (product numbers I assume) as well as glue.
Cereal boxes and tissue boxes arent just carboard - they have a plastic coating on them plus TONS of ink (for the design). Most carboard packaging is the same. They also have glue holding the boxes together.
So, bleach, dye, ink, glue and plastic... Not the best of things for a hamster to ingest, surely?
Sorry if this is a bit of an idiotic question its just something I've been thinking about since looking into getting a hamster.
