Question DIY paper bedding.

I'm making my own paper bedding and I was wondering if you can put the balls of mush in the microwave to dry it faster since I don't have a blow dryer.

Like is there any way to make it dry faster that does not involves a oven, blow dryer or tumble dryer.

I don't think so. I leave any homemade paper bedding I make out to dry over night. It really doesn't take all that long IMO. Good luck with your bedding!

May I ask what type of paper both of you use and do you use it in a small area of the cage for bedding or a larger area?

It sounds like a great idea.

I'm so lazy, I just use toilet roll torn into strips. Both my hamsters love it.

I personally often used toilet roll strips and packed it down very gently into a small container and mixed in flax seed.This works really good for foraging,and is honestly one of the easiest DIY enrichment options plus it takes very little time to make!

I use toilet paper and I'm using it as a temp solution until my next paycheck on the 3rd.

I use just plain white paper or toilet tissue (sometimes even a mix of both) and wet it, creating a care fresh type consistency. I don't fill the whole cage with it as it's just so time consuming and makes so little, but a small portion has some just for fun

For bedding I just use toilet paper torn into strips, Ghost is using it a little, Pip used to pouch it and then kind of chew it to get it just right for her.
I have used torn toilet paper for all of our hams with out any problems at all.
