Talking DIY Hamster Bedding

So I decided to make some bedding for Gandalfenstein because I felt like doing more things for him will make me feel closer to him. Plus, I have a lot of time on my hands. This is what I am doing-

1. Shred up A LOT of paper.
2. Rinse it until it looks like mush.
3. Drain the water.
4. Tear up the paper clumps into smaller ones.
5. Let the clumps dry and turn into soft little bits of paper.

Then I also tear up cardboard and a few paper towels just to fill it out more.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

I did the same thing except I only used newspaper and drained out all the inks. It took me four hours to make a batch good enough for two weeks. I realized that a minimum wage job could get me more than that! xD Good luck.

Lol, it is taking forever! I still only have a batch for one week about. But I still have some carefresh so I am going to use that and be working on the bedding at the same time everyday. I have too much time on my hands! I would get a minimum wage job and just buy carefresh but my bf wont let me work lol, too many convenience stores around the neighborhood and not much else (and I don't drive yet how sad is that?!) Anyway thank you for the luck! Im gonna need it if I am going to make enough.

I love making stuff for my hams too. So far only cardboard tubes and boxes stuck together. I have plans for a paper mâché landscape in the new playpen though...
