So my shredder doesn't shed in strips, it ends up looking like Aspen kinda, only softer and more...papery! Can I use it??

Totally uneducated guess here but doesnt paper cause papercuts? I know my kids are constantly coming back from school/nursery with wounds from paper.
Of course could be completely safe it really is an uneducated opinion.

I have a security shredder here that ends up cutting similar.
Should be good to use, the only issue that some people have had in the past is ink rubbing off.

I tried shredded paper once but found it wasn't too absorbent, so you need a deeper layer. Try it though. I wouldn't worry about paper cuts, snake skin is tougher than ours.
I tried it with my mice and they just scooped it all up for their nests!
