Ah great tip, thanks. So that is definitely ok for them then? Will give it a go!

Do you tear the toilet paper up first?

Perfectly safe, many of us on here use it.

Thank you. Better to ask and be safe rather than sorry do you tear the paper up first?

You can do or tear off about 12 sheets and let your ham do it. I would add a bit each day so he can build up a nest.

Awesome. Thank you so much!

You're welcome!

Also, you could do the tissue trick where you stuff some toilet tissue up your sleeves and leave for a couple of hours and then put in his cage, this gets him familiar with your scent.

That's such a good idea, thank you. Never would have thought of that myself

Now have toilet paper stuffed up both sleeves and my mum thinks I am mad!
