Does lavender oil irritate rodents - especially (robo) hamsters?

Question

I want to repel insects from my room with lavender oil, but I also have 3 robo hamsters in here. Will they get irritated too?

Answer 1

as long as its non toxic, i think it should be okay.

Answer 2

I don't think it should cause a problem for your hamsters. I have russian dwarfs in my room and I burn aroma oils every evening for scenting the room air and my hamsters have not been bothered by it at all.

Just ensure that you do not place the oils too close to the robos cage so that they do not have the strong vapour wafting in their direction.
