Review on DIY paper bedding

Owning a hamster is a joy. But it also asks for good care. And it can get pretty pricey. Even more if you have multiple hamsters like I do. So I watch out for every single penny I can save. Of course I do not want to save money on hamster food because it is important for every single live being to eat healthy. But all hamster owners buy bedding as one of pretty important thing for hamster cage. And good bedding can become pretty pricey, if not too expensive. So I decided to do something I have seen a lot of people do: craft my own hamster bedding. Sadly; there is no paper based bedding avalible in my local pet store so I can't really compare my bedding to anything, but based on what I've seen and read online I belive it is pretty good. It is fluffy, soft, light, and the most important, it's not dusty at all. I am using it in Pixie's cage at the momment since he pees a lot so each time I scoop out some bedding, I put some of paper bedding in that place. For some strange reason, he is refusing to pee on it. That is pretty cool due the fact paper based bedding usually absorbs all the urine and then it smells pretty bad. I like the fact it works kind of like toilete paper or paper towels, once it apsorbs water, it doesn't wet anything else. To conclude; this is really good bedding if you aske me, as long it doesn't come in contact with too much water.For any additional informations visit my video on how do I make thsi bedding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JehcyGfZApg
