Bedding question

[Jaxmommy1]

I am using paper towels at the moment. I own a paper shredder and I was emptying it yesterday and wondered if I could use that? Jax could dig around in it but would he eat it?
Has anyone tried this or any opinions on using this?

I would stick to the paper towel. The shredded pieces are more likely to be ingested which could lead to impaction. If you want to provide a digging space I'd go with large shreds of fleece which are nice and soft, easy to wash, and less likely to be ingested.

Thank you! I will get some fleece and see if he enjoys it. Should I just cut into strips?

 

[CooperDragon]

Yeah strips or small blanket sized squares. I have squares that are 12'' on each side and they double as good blankets. Whatever works best in your situation though.

Another risk that shredded paper would present, that paper towels typically dont, would be all the added dies/chemicals added to the paper itself, let alone any of the ink that may be on it.

Do you put the fleece in some kind of container or just pile it up in one area? If so what type/size of container?

Thank you for the responses. I am at the store now to get fleece. Found really cute one with bugs all over it. Haha. Going to make squares for under his big cave and I'm also going to make him a snuggle sack. I'll post pics when done.
