quote "Hello all


I'm new to the forum! I have a question - Every week when I clean out
the kid's hamster, I wonder if there is any reason why I shouldn't put
the wood shavings etc on the compost heap.


Your thoughts? "

I suspect that the amount would not be too excessive as it is only a
hamster cage, and the wee from the hamster is likely to add any
nitrogen to replace that used. As long as it is having plenty of other
stuff added it would seem to be OK, but, bear in mind, that the wood
shavings will take longer to compost.
