I'm going to go on a limb and think they mean like the woodchip bedding that most of those kinds of animals have in their cages. Smells a bit like a soggy woodsy smell. When it's fresh, it's an alright smell, but when it's in need of changing it's kinda ripe.I’ve never smelled a hamster!We don’t have hamsters in Australia, but they look so cute.
Lavender?
