I definitely wouldn’t recommend any kind of fabric bedding, anything that van be chewed can be dangerous, depending on the fabric loose threads can get wrapped around limbs or swallowed, all sorts of issues, from a ham’s point of view I don’t think it would go down well, imagine trying to dig & burrow in large pieces of fabric or any kind of fabric really.
I would stick to the usual kinds of substrate, you really don’t need to do much cleaning very often, only spot cleaning mostly so after the initial set up costs are quite niminal.
