Bed-E-Bye Crinkles, has anyone used them?

[elmomauzen]

I found this product on the Super Pet website and think my dwarves would like digging in it when in their playpen. Here's the description on their website:

Bed-E-Bye is a cozy, springy paper nesting material that is safe for all critters. Be sure to provide a fresh handful of Bed-E-Bye to your furry friend every time you clean its cage to give it a cozy, comfy naptime experience. Bed-E-Bye is made from non-toxic and hypo-allergenic paper that crinkles so it is safe, comfortable and so much fun! Available in a fun mix of colors including resting red, nighttime yellow and soft blue.

Has anyone ever used this for their hamster(s)?

i have used that and my hamsters absolutly loved it, and they look cool in the cage too

[elmomauzen]

Thanks RangerRiff. Did you use it for bedding or just sprinked around the cage for them to play with? Should I change it every week when I clean the cage?

Also, you said "used to use it". Why don't you now?

I see that you also have 1 dwarf as well as your Syrians. Do you like Syrians better? Why? Is you dwarf friendly? I want a Syrian (keep seeing so many cute ones in pet stores).

PS- Storm Trooper Stan is really a cutie. You're right I haven't seen any white Syrians with black eyes. I don't know why the other kids were making fun of him.

I love my dwarf but, i like syrians a lot better for some reason, you should really think about getting one, they are sooo much fun!

As for the bedding stuff i just put it in there for them to play with and they made a nice bed out of it so yo could use it as bedding

Thank you I think Storm Tropper Stan would appretiate your comment!!!

i havn't heard of this product... i know no one asked for mi opinion but i do like syrians more. well i havn't had a dwarf but i see a syrian that i want every time i go to the petstore!

Iv'e never heard of it or used it. But I like syrians more to hold and play with but dwarfs to look at and they seem more active.

Thanks for all the replies. The more opinions the better! I will get a Syrian sometime this year. I think I want a short haired male, probably light coloured or white. Sounds like I'm describing Storm Trooper Stan! I have to decide on what cage to get (I'm leaning towards a really large Sterilite bin that I can customize).

Do Syrians have a stronger smell than dwarves? I would try to potty train but you never can tell if you'll get a messy or neat hamster. I would clean the cage once a week and the potty area every day.

I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I get one.

I have a male syrian and he does not smell at all the female dwarf has a little odor but you can barely tell.
