All hamsters need a sand bath to groom themselves, as they should never be bathed in water. [16] The sand keeps their fur clean, and digging in sand helps to maintain their claws. [18] Sand for a sand bath should be fine, but not dusty. And must have no added dyes, or chemicals. Reptile sand can be used as long as it does not contain calcium or any other additive. another example is sanitized childrens play sand. Some hamsters will also use their sand bath as a litter box.

Gossypium hirsutum– upland cotton, native to Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and southern Florida (90% of world production) [3] Their leaves are heart-shaped with pointed tips and are deep glossy green with pale undersides. Often, leaves are marked with brown. Beddings with added scents are not safe for hamsters. Scented bedding disrupts the animal's own scent markings, causing stress. The scent can also harm their sensitive respiratory system. [14] [18] Harnesses and leashes [ edit ] Lab tests suggested the shredded cotton increased the bacteria and fungus in the soils, had no impact on the germination of seeds and all but the tightest woven cotton pieces broke down significantly in 24 weeks.The Balm of Gilead Oil, or subsequent double-infused oil, is ready to be made into a salve. A salve is made by gently melting together the infused Balm of Gilead Oil with beeswax. There are other vegan options to use instead of beeswax such as Candelilla wax. Rebecca Gilling, deputy chief executive of environment charity Planet Ark, said throwing textiles in the bin meant throwing away a valuable material. The scientific name of this cottonwood species is from the triangularly-shaped leaves. The “delta” leaves are between 1.5” to 4” long (4 – 10 cm) and about the size at their widest part. You will notice the leaves have a serrated edge and the curved triangle shape tapers to a sharp, elongated point.

Once the scent of alcohol is almost completely gone from the lovely resinous Spring-like aroma, I cover the buds with 1 ½ cup of chosen oil. The jar is now placed in a dark cupboard at room temperature. There is always a decision when making extractions. Dark or light? Cold or warm? Many Balm of Gilead extraction methods I have read, use heat, even boiling the buds in oil. This is certainly an option. However, I am choosing to take my time with this infusion. The fact that many herbalists use heat makes me feel good that the bioactive compounds may be stable at higher temperatures. Current estimates for world production are about 25 million tonnes or 110 million bales annually, accounting for 2.5% of the world's arable land. India is the world's largest producer of cotton. The United States has been the largest exporter for many years. [3] Cotton ready for harvest in Andhra Pradesh, India. Types It is of great concern that some of the largest retailers in the country are ignoring the welfare advice that exists from the most reputable sources possible Despite the fact that people were becoming aware of the dangers posed by the breathing in of harmful substances almost two centuries ago we still have a long way to go in eliminating this occupational health risk. The exact pathology of byssinosis is still not entirely understood, meaning that efforts to reduce the occurrence of the disease continue to depend on removing dust from the work environment in cotton mills. Such efforts have involved fitting exhausts to the stripping brushes in carding machines, installing air conditioning, and ensuring that work spaces are regularly vacuum cleaned, as well as applying an oil emulsion to raw cotton to prevent it from releasing as much dust. Continued investigation into whether it is, as many medical authorities now believe, some foreign matter in cotton – such as stems, leaves, or bacteria – that cause byssinosis, and whether certain people are particularly susceptible to the disease, is required.

Hamster wheels are exercise devices that allow hamsters to run, even in a confined space. Wheels intended for smaller species may not be appropriate for Syrian hamsters, but this information is not always divulged to consumers. The Veterinary Association for Animal Welfare (TVT) recommends that wheels be at least 20cm (7.9in) for Dwarf hamsters and at least 30cm (12in) for Syrian hamsters, since wheels with smaller diameters can lead to permanent spinal curvature, especially in young animals. The Veterinary Association also recommends providing hamsters with a solid running surface, as rungs or mesh can catch limbs and cause injury. [14] Hamster hides [ edit ]
