Hello!
Hello I'm new here. I adopted this little guy from petsmart. He was adopted out because he doesn't use his back left leg. His name is Bacon. I apologize for the photo being upside down. It came from my iPhone.

Re: Hello!
Hi there and welcome! Your ham is very cute!
I noticed on the photo it looks like you are using fluffy bedding for him. I realize your want the best for your little one, but it's dangerous stuff, have a look here:
Poorly Robo *THE DANGERS OF FLUFFY BEDDING*
I would recommend something simple and safe instead: bits of ripped up toilet tissue. Hamsters love shredding it and making nests with it--and it's safe!
Hope you will find HC an informative and enjoyable place to learn about hamster things!

Re: Hello!
Are you talking about his nesting materials to the right or the actual bedding?

The nesting material.

Re: Hello!
Thank you everyone. Ham I replaced his nesting material with toilet paper. Thank you for your heads up. Is that the only suitable nesting material for them?

Re: Hello!
They don't really need nesting material if you already use paper-based bedding, but if you use shavings: toilet tissue or any paper-based bedding (like Carefresh, Kaytee's Clean and Cozy, etc) are good. Toilet tissue is cheap, accessible, and hamsters seem to love shredding it and using it for their nests.

Re: Hello!
Okay, I'm thinking about making bedding for him out of toilet tissue. Right now he's on Carefresh mix and he sneezes sometimes.
