Shredded paper for bedding?

About to shred hundreds of old bills and statements. Can I use it as hamster bedding or is the print harmful?

No you can't use it, think it's because of the sharp edges rather than the print?

Don't know about hamsters but I shred paper for my guinea pigs (though I'm aware they have completely different feet to hammys)

I have a confetti cross cut shredder which gives small clippings.
I only shred paper I'd be happy for them to eat.

I will never again waste an hour of my life trying to shred paper towels as recommended on a guinea site.

My lovely shredded paper is much softer than hay Smile
