So I can no longer find the finely shredded aspen anywhere. All I can find is the large chunky stuff. And I don't like just newspaper. So I got to thinking the other day about what to do and I had an epiphany!
I thought "what about using shredded paper for bedding?" Its free (I get sooooo much junk mail) and would be a good way to reuse all that paper. So I went to Staples, and picked up a paper shredder that cross-cuts (only $30 after $40 off!). And spent a few minutes shredding junk mail and old newspapers I had in the recycling bin.
And the results: so far so good! I only managed to cut up enough to do a couple of tubs. But it seems good so far. Its small enough that it will be scoopable for spot cleaning, and is also nice that the snakes can bury in it if they want. Plus its free and eco friendly!! (minus the cost of a paper shredder). Here are some pics of it and my spider girl on it.
