Fluffy hamster and small pet bedding has killed several creatures. However, many buyers are enthralled about the 'cuteness' of the bedding/nesting material and buy it. This can choke and suffocate hamsters if pouched, remove circulation through limbs, and if digested can block intestines. The price is pretty high up in many areas but owners, mainly children, are granting petshops money which they won't turn down.
