What is the best nesting for hamsters?

The best nesting material for hamsters is soft, absorbent, and safe for them to chew on. Some good options include:

* Shredded paper

* Hay

* Aspen shavings

* Carefresh

* Timothy hay

* Untreated wood shavings

* Recycled paper bedding

* Cotton balls

* Polyester batting

Avoid using pine or cedar shavings, as these woods can contain harmful fumes that can irritate your hamster's respiratory system. You should also avoid using newspaper, as the ink can be toxic to hamsters.

When providing nesting material for your hamster, make sure to give them enough to build a comfortable nest. The nest should be at least 6 inches in diameter and 4 inches high. You should also place the nest in a quiet, dark area of the cage.
