Can I use this paper bedding for my BP?

What about the ink that leeches out of newspaper?

Lots of people use the blank newspaper. I've seen people talk about getting the end rolls of blank paper from the newspaper. I guess you can get them cheap because when they get too small you can't finish out the roll in the printing machines, but there is plenty left for substrate purposes. I like paper towel for the convenience. Better chance of seeing mites and it's easy to clean.
