    PLEASE NOTE:
    The willow items in this video could potentially be dangerous due to all of the gaps. I no longer consider these as safe items.

      I definitely think the same. They look really pretty but it's just too risky. If we plug the holes in the bendy bridges but leave willow items in then what are we even doing. Though covering it completely with moss would be a good solutions for the ones people already own.

    If you're familiar with this channel, you may be wondering why I had to change out Robin's bedding! His old bedding (kaytee clean and cosy) had to be switched out. I hadn't realised how dusty it was!! I moved a handful of it, and a cloud of dust went in the air and into my eyes. The bedding had been affecting my asthma, not great at holding burrows and started smelling. You should never remove large amounts of bedding (apart from medical reasons) and this is really a medical reason, as it affected my asthma, and the dust could have affected Robin's respiratory system too. I kept some of his bedding and put that around the cage, so some of his scent was still there, and of course all of his items still smell like him.

    Thanks for your video! I’ve got a question: you use the Chipsi Classic bedding and I was checking it out and says it’s made of Fir and pine trees. I thought pine has to be avoided, maybe there’s something I’m missing since I’m new at this 😅

    • @TheHamsterRoom
      @TheHamsterRoom  18 днів тому

      Chipsi is made mostly (70-75%) spruce which is safe, and the rest fir. Because it is predominantly spruce, the phenol levels are low enough to be considered safe😊

      @@vague_1255 Pine and cedar are unsafe due to the level of phenols. Chipsi is made from approximately 75% spruce which is safe, and 25% pine. Due to the small amount of pine, the phenol level is low enough to be considered safe. I hope this makes sense.
