12 X 8 in cage how much pine bedding should i have and when do i change it, i have two winter white2007-11-24 21:57:10Answers:

You should fill the bottom of the cage with at least 1 inch of bedding because hamsters like to burrow. Also, I would change the bedding at least once a week, considering that you have two hamsters in one cage (it can get nasty quickly). I usually buy one big bag of bedding and use only as much as I needed during each changing. Store the rest.

Just make sure that you have at least 1 inch of bedding on the floor of the cage! I hope that this answers your question! Thanks, and good luck,

Dont use pine, its not very soft or comfortable, use carefresh, its nice soft, and warm, and very absorbant so it doesn't smell as bad when they pee

Put about an inch deep in it, change it at least once a week

12 x 8 seems pretty small for a hamster, let alone 2 hamsters, thats the size of my hamsters travel cage, as soon as you get the change, go out and buy a cage at least twice as big to make sure your hamsters live a happy life, not a cramped one
