But you would still need some paper bedding as well. How else would the hamster make a nest?

Personally, i think the majority of substrate should be paper bedding for nesting and burrowing and anything else in smaller quantities for enrichment.

I know that in Germany they use mainly woodchips, Allspan which is 100% spruce i think but i've always wondered what a hamster is meant to use to build a nest.
