Important Safety Information

Kapok is a soft, fibrous nesting material, and while the manufacturer designs it with shorter fibres to reduce stringing, welfare organisations including the RSPCA and RVC classify kapok within the broader "fluffy bedding" category, alongside cotton wool and similar materials. Their guidance highlights two potential risks with this type of bedding: fibres wrapping around a small pet's legs, and the risk of gut blockage if the material is ingested, which some hamsters may do if they store bedding in their cheek pouches.

If you choose to use this bedding, we'd recommend monitoring your pet regularly, particularly in the first few weeks, and considering a paper or hay-based bedding as an alternative or supplement if you have any concerns. Not recommended for pets with underlying gastrointestinal conditions.
