Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

My dwarf hamster, Annie, would eat the potty litter all the time and she was fine. If they sell the product and its highly rated then its should be fine. If hamsters died from that stuff I'm sure they would have it on the reviews.  

Answer 2

it should be safe if they sell it for in the cage. my hamster has the same stuff and he doesn't eat it. maybe the hamster on the box is showing that it is safe. it looks like he's eating it.

Answer 3

yeah it fine ! he will stop.. hes just curious  

Answer 4

Most likely he's just curious about it since you just got it for him and he will probably stop eating it.   What are the ingredients?  Do they list them on the side of the package?  

Answer 5

It's not uncommon for rodents to eat their f***s.  They do it in order to digest it twice and get all the nutrients they can from their food.

Answer 6

ummmm...well hamsters don't really need the potty litter or litter box but if he's already potty trained then go ahead and leave the litter box but the potty litter is not that important and so i would recommend taking it out just to be on the safe side cuz i used that same thing for my bunny and he ate it so i took it out like i said just to be on the safe side although i don't think it affected himm at all.
