Clean Your Hamster's Cage

It's important to clean your hamster's cage at least once a week. When you clean the cage, you should leave some of the old bedding or nesting material so when the hamster's come back to the cage it recognises it's "home". You have to replacing the soiled bedding where needed. Carefresh and Megazorb are both examples of safe bedding. Hamster bedding materials made of fluffy cotton cloth are very dangerous, as they can tangle around the hamster's neck and limbs as well as pose a choking hazard.
