Shredded Paper
Shredded paper is paper that is either shredded by shredder, by hand, or by gerbils.
If you want to use this bedding type, I recommend purchasing a cross cut paper shredder, especially if you use it for the main bedding, because shredding by hand is a lot of work. I have used it when starting out, though I kept running out of paper to shred, so stopped using it as a base. I find it holds burrows quite nicely, and I mainly use it for supporting burrows. it is slightly dusty though, so I don't recommend it for young pups.
