Most Hamster owners have used the Fluffy Cotton Candy-type bedding for their animals in the past with no ill effects but a lot of Hamster owners have lost their hamsters lives to this bedding.
The Fluffy Bedding, despite having the words "Natural and Safe" written on is in fact highly dangerous to not just domestic animals but wildlife too.
Fluffy Bedding is dangerous because:
It can get stuck in the stomach of the animal as it doesn't dissolve.
It can get trapped around the limbs of the animal because the fibres get tangled. There are many cases of animal chewing their legs off to get out of it.
It can get lodged in the throat of the animal.
It can suffocate the animal if the animal gets it tangled around their necks
It can get stuck in the cheeks of Hamsters and then the cheek pouches can become infected.
Very recently the Wilko's brand of Fluffy Bedding has caused a social media uproar due to the fact it killed a girls Hamster. Despite the proof and danger, Wilkos continued to stock it and sell it and put more animals lives at risk.
Safe Alternatives to Fluffy Bedding.
Luckily, safer and cheaper alternatives exist. The cheapest and by far the safest is located in your bathroom - Plain, unscented Toilet Roll. It dissolves in the stomach so there's no risk of blockages and it doesn't tangle up.
You can also buy for 50p, Sainsburys own brand tissues and rip up for Hamsters.
