dusty hamster bedding??
hi! recently was doing a quick spot cleaning and noticed my hammy's bedding has a bit of dust in it. (edit: a LOT of dust in it) probably haven't changed her bedding out for like 4-5+ months, because since i moved her to a detolf she's been peeing in her sandbath. is it normal for paper bedding to get dusty overtime? or is it an issue with the brand? (i use carefresh)

Re: dusty hamster bedding??
It's not uncommon for paper bedding to have some dusty. but lately it seems like they have been dustier, probably a supply issue.
- To lessen the dust you can do a couple of things, one is mix with another kind of bedding with the paper such as aspen or a soft hay like hemp.
- The other more labor intensive thing is to put he bedding in a mesh bag and shake the hack out of it, outside. This knocks quite a bit of dust out of it.
