5 Best Hamster Litters

And our rating opens with the most natural filler, designed to create a natural habitat for a hamster. Of course, it does not absorb unpleasant odors and liquids as well as specialty products. However, hay will allow the animal to feel comfortable, build nests in it, and even eat in addition to the main diet. Customers rave about the product and actively recommend it for use. The only caveat - when buying, you should look at the package for the presence of dust. During transportation, dry hay can crumble and lose its basic qualities. Therefore, the dust can be a bit much, although some hamsters (for example, Dzungarian) may like it.

The package immediately contains 20 liters of selected meadow hay. This is enough for a long period of use. The product still smells like a real meadow, as it was collected and dried according to all the rules. Which, by the way, is also pleasant for the owners: now the hamster's cage will smell like a forest edge or a meadow, and not the hamster itself. The composition does not contain herbs and flowers harmful to the pet, as well as thorny stems. Therefore, the animal will not get hurt. Flushing such a filler into the toilet is not recommended, since hay does not dissolve in water. This will lead to blockages.

Expensive, rare and high-quality premium filler. Designed for wealthy owners of hamsters and their fastidious pets. The product is sold in several versions.It can be either loose silica gel filler in a volume of 3 liters, or one silica gel plate measuring 45x56 cm. The cost is equally high, which is justified by high quality and long service life. In addition, the granules contain an antibacterial component, which will positively affect the health of the Syrian or Djungarian hamster.

The filler perfectly absorbs liquid and retains odors. With him, hamsters almost cease to smell, which is good news. Silica gel is absolutely harmless, even if the hamster eats it. However, this is an unlikely outcome, because the composition contains an unpleasant-tasting ingredient that will prevent the pet from eating its own bedding. Silica gel filler has a long service life. If used correctly, it can be left unchanged for 30 days. Although it is better to do it more often - it is more useful for the hamster.

Cellulose filler designed to entertain owners and delight hamsters. This is both a cheerful bedding, which consists of multi-colored and soft fibers, and a building material for the animal's nest. The hamster can easily dig a mink in it or drag the fibers into the house and settle down on them to sleep. It is safe: the composition does not contain dust, tar, or other elements harmful to pets. The filler is hypoallergenic, so it can be placed in the cage even for finicky, sensitive and painful hamsters. Also it is biodegradable. It can be flushed down the toilet without fear.

The package contains 10 liters of multi-colored paper pieces. The characteristics of the filler are pleasing. Each paper fiber is capable of absorbing three times more liquid than it weighs.At the same time, the smell binds and does not hover around the room, which should please the owners of the hamster. By the way, the paint, when wet, does not transfer to the pet or surrounding objects, so do not worry: the animal will not change the color of the fur coat and will not be poisoned by the dye. In the reviews, buyers indicate that the filler perfectly copes with its tasks and looks original and fun.

Granulated wood litter that is perfect for a hamster cage. The package contains 4 liters of reduced size granules, specially designed for the comfort of small animals. The product does a good job of absorbing moisture and odor. Used granules break up into small sawdust, which, however, does not stick to wool and paws. We can say that the filler lives up to its name. Keep in mind that sawdust is quite light, so active hamsters can scatter it.

The "Clean paws" filler is ideally combined with hay, as it absorbs the main "blow" of the hamster's life. It has a pleasant smell of pine needles, which will allow you to forget about the stench from the cage. Sawdust can be thrown into the sewer, which will greatly facilitate cleaning in the cage and is not harmful to the environment. The filler is absolutely safe for hamsters, because it does not contain large sharp chips or allergens. It can even be chewed without harm to health. On the contrary, chewing on hard pellets in hamsters will improve their teeth and improve their mood.

The well-deserved first place in our rating is occupied by Padovan Sanipet Profumato corn filler. It is best suited for the cage of a Syrian or Djungarian hamster, as it perfectly copes with unpleasant odors and animal waste. Corn pellets are quite small, but they are able to lie in the cage for 7-10 days and do not smell, which makes it possible to change the hamster filler less often. By the way, veterinarians also praise this option of “bedding”: corn flakes and granules do not cause allergies in animals and do not pose any danger to them.

Filler Padovan Sanipet Profumato is not just very hygienic and convenient. It has a pleasant citrus scent. This does not irritate the hamster, but the owners, on the contrary, will be glad that it smells good from the cage. The absorbency and odor retention of the product is praised even by the owners of rats, which smell much worse than hamsters. Therefore, the option can definitely be trusted with your pet's cage. I am glad that the crumbs and sawdust do not stick to the coat and paws, so the hamster looks neater. The disadvantage of this filler is one - 10 liters of corn pellets are quite expensive compared to other products for rodents.
