And then you defeat your purpose.
You just introduced a bunch of paper into your tub, and paper is the worst bedding of all. Why not just give them a hand full of pine and let them collect it into a nest so they can have a proper nest. The feces and urine will then just collect on the cage floor. Yes you can use hardwood pellets (equine fresh, abm products etc) but just stating, not all females will react well to this. If you have to add paper, you might as well just use all pine shavings.
