Default how to make bedding like carefresh

toilet rolls ripped up into sheets,
put in a dish pour on hot water,
make into a mush with your hands by ripping it up with your hands,
drain water away role mush into balls squeezing out the water,
brake balls up into dish place in sun or some where warm to dry
when dried give to hamsters.
totally dust free.

I would say 1 pack of 4 would do 1 mini duna that's of the cheap stuff say bout £60p if you were covering the whole floor, or as a nest material I would say it would do about 5 nests

Hmm, might give that a try for Timmy's sake! In our climate might be better though to bake it in a low oven, the drying time would be too long and would give mold spores a chance to grow :/

I tried this after watching chocolatecolors26 youtube video. For me it was a disaster. It took ages to roll each section of toilet roll. Fitch is defo quicker lol.
