Default beding to warm and cozy?

Hi I have just moved home about a month ago and because my shredder was packed I have not been using shredded newspaper, I have been using shop purchased shredded toilet paper from wilko. She loves it, but only shows her face to go to the toilet, feed and drink. I had to kick her out of bed last time she needed a change of bedding. I take it she is not hibernating? Its not that cold. Once I have used up the pack of shredded toilet tissue I think I am going to go back to using shredded newspaper. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I right?

I definitely wouldn't use shredded newspaper for hamsters & if she's obviously enjoying her comfy bed then I would continue to use the toilet tissue.
If she's not coming out when you're around you could try getting her out at a regular time for some treats & out of cage time & she may get into the routine, some hams just like to stay in bed a lot though & may only come out for a run in the wheel etc very late at night.

Definitely don't like the idea of using shredded newspaper in nests, no. Inks and sharp edges... I wouldn't go back to doing that.

I buy smart price facial tissues and tear them to strips. They are less dusty than loo roll and nice and soft, and last longer than pet shop stuff. Mimsie loves her bed and tissues don't have any edges unlike some of the pet shop 'micropore' style compressed bedding.
