I know that pine bedding is bad for hamsters, but . . .?

I bought my hamster a little Snak Shack bridge, which claims to be 100% edible.. Pine shavings are among the ingredients. The other ingredients are cassava starch, alfalfa, water, honey, glycerin, etc. It doesn't smell like pine . . .


Should I give it to him?

Pine is only bad if hamsters breathe in the toxins from it and if its in a toy or something it is perfectly fine for it

Reply:i use pine bedding for my hamster. she has only gotten sick once. (my little sister offerred it a hot cheeto, which gave her a minor case of dihharria) other than that, i have had her for quite a while. anyway, i think pine is perfectly safe for your hamster to eat if in a small amount. cedar however....... is not a good choice.
Reply:no it could kill him my guinea pig was sneezing when he smelled the pine.
