norseman 424 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I have been throwing out tones of paper recently, and was thinking about just buying a shredder and using it for the ferret bedding. Does anyone else use shredded paper for bedding? would save me a few quid in the long run buying bedding I suppose. Cheers ATB Quote Link to post

Lamper121 239 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I only just used shredded paper for the first time this year for when my Jill’s has had kits. I made sure it was the short cut shred as the longer stuff can apparently tangle them up easily Quote Link to post
norseman 424 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Cheers for that, I wasn't sure which one to go for. Quote Link to post

Lee farrington 211 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Mine have shredded paper, with no problems. It costs nothing but can be a bit messy Quote Link to post
The one 8,452 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Mine only get shavings but i cut the front off a plastic box and they sleep in that but if its warm they sleep at the side or behind it Quote Link to post
coneykenny 98 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I too used the shredded paper for a while, but I found in winter it got damp after a bit. I switched to straw then and found it held out longer before being replaced. I wouldn't go with hay ,too dusty,smelly and mites.this time of year in my own run is shavings only. Kenny.
