    bedding

    I heard a guy saying he uses shredded paper for bedding. I usually only use newspaper laid out or the basic mulch dirt from my local reptile store.

    anyone use shredded paper at all??

    I've never used it, and probably wouldn't. I have heard people talk about on other forums, though, and the general consensus was, it's gets far too messy, dissolves, hard to find poo in, and is hard to spot clean.

    Like I said, I've never used it.

    If it was shredded into confetti or litter-type pieces, shredded paper might work in a thick layer...but shredded into strips I imagine would be a nightmare to spot-clean, and if you're dumping everything when you clean anyways, you may as well just use sheets.
