Just read your sticky on substrate GP.Thanks for making it easier.Just a quick question, I work in GP surgery (admin) and there is always a load of shredded letters.These just get binned.Can I use this, or would the ink and paper dust be detrimental to GB? Ally.

I used shredded paper for a while, only stopped coz it ran out! Was super absorbant and snakey seemed to love burrowing in it.

I use wall-lining paper. I saw the roll off to the right depth of my viv stacks for lining the bottom, then the little bit of the roll thats left goes throught the shredder and comes out all curly and i put that in the hides and stuff. Probablly would work out expensive but i was given a box of 20 rolls ages ago think i've use about 2 every 3 months (ish). So much easier to clean out now too.

I used shredded paper for a while with no problems. Rizla loved it for tunnelling. Only changed back to Aspen because I obtained a sack of it a very reasonable price.
