Are toilet paper rolls bad for my hamster?

Question

I am going to get two female Chinese Dwarf Hamsters and I want to add some toilet paper rolls for them to play i and chew on. Is this bad for them please tell me! Thanks.

Answer 1

No way!! Toilet paper rolls are great for hamsters. They love to chew it a crawl threw it. They have a great time.

Answer 2

no instead its good because when they fill danger they will get in it all rodents like tubes where they can enter and exit but make sure they can get out of it on the other side too and that the tube is big enough for him make sure he Just chews it but doesnt eat  it cause its going to be really hard to digest so if see him eating eat take it away (just my way of thinking) good luck

Answer 3

Nope! They are great for your hammies! Its just card board so it WONT make them sick!

Answer 4

No, when I still had my hamster I put some in her cage for her to play with.

Answer 5

umm... no i dont think so. i used to give my hampsters toilet paper rolls all the time. they achually seem to like it.

its fine unless theyre chubby and get stuck in the roll :) but theyll probably chew themselves out anyway :)

hope this helped a little. and aww how cute i love those hampsters =)

Answer 6

As long as you use unscented toilet paper (Perfumes are too strong/harmful to them.) and there is not a lot of glue on the tubes, it's fine.  My pets love playing with tubes. :)

You can also buy these things called chubes made out of some kind of veggie matter.  They're thicker then cardboard (so they last longer) and they come in all sorts of sizes.  My pets love those, too!

It is a great idea for your chinese hamsters.

I personally have used ripped toilet paper mixed with aspen shavings as hamster bedding too for years and have had no problems whatsoever. All my hamsters love toilet paper. Make sure that the toilet paper you give them is untreated / unbleached and does not have any fragrance in them. Also if you are using toilet paper for the first time, closely observe the hamsters for a day or two to rule out any itching or allergy that the papers might be causing them.

Don't throw away the empty tubes after using the toilet roll. Give them to your hamsters and watch them have great fun playing with it. I often put a whole roll of toilet paper inside my hamsters' cage and all my hammies have great fun ripping them off and spreading them all over the nest and using the tube for their games.

Answer 8

no i had 4 hampsters before and they loved crawling through it. they would chew it sometimes but they loved it. oh btw don't put them in the same cage. i tried it once and they started fighting.
