Hm, if you mean bedding for the entire cage, then it most certainly is, but be aware that you will have to clean the cage DAILY because toilet paper gets soiled much quicker than conventional bedding. I would recommend either Aspen bedding (never use Pine or Cedar as hamsters can get very sick from these types of bedding!) or Carefresh as your main bedding. Unscented toilet paper is best given in a few sheets, in addition to the bedding (they chew on it and make nests to sleep on! And toilet paper is much, much safer than the 'cotton' alternative sold in pet stores, which can get caught around a hamster's feet and they can choke on it.) And toss in the toilet paper tube too, they love running through them and chewing on them.

Actually this is a good choice but you'll want to switch it out more often than the usual paper beddings. Try to use one that's not scented or colored if you can. Keep an eye on which corner the hamster uses as his/her toilet and change the paper in that corner daily until you can get more bedding.
Just be sure never ever ever use cedar. Check out any hamster care website and it will tell you why.

They might eat it.. you can get safe aspen chips for just $2-3 at WalMart and Target, check around the stores, each one carries a little bit different. It probably will last as long as your toilet paper, since that isn't free either, even the cheapies.

No. Why did you utilize it in case you knew it replaced into undesirable? you are going to be able to desire to take your hamster to the vet. swap to carefresh bedding. Any no, you could't use torn up bathroom paper. perhaps you need to locate the hamster a clean abode. EDIT: dont pay attention to the guy below. PETCO workers comprehend no longer something. You cant use bathroom paper via fact whilst that's moist it is going to become a widespread pile of mush. in case you relatively can't have sufficient money perfect bedding, use approximately 5 layers of newspaper, then shredded newspaper on precise. ensure you rip the paper via hand in any different case it could have sharp edges. Please get perfect care or locate him a clean abode.

no not toilet paper it could clog them up or make them sick. They do like the cardboard rolles they do chew those up sometimes but they use it as extra padding for where they sleep. But mine loved sleeping in the roll paper towel rolles work too.

toilet paper is not ideal but i dont think it would hurt the hamster - hamsters prefer the natural grains you get from pet stores, plus they like burying themselves so toilet paper wouldn't really work...

Why not just be safe and offer your hamster a t-shirt which you have lovingly shredded with a scissors? Best part is it is washable and reusable and you will never have to buy bedding again. :)

Certainly, they love it.
Or "facial" tissues like "kleenex."
They fluff it into a giant cloud and sleep in the middle.

Probably not. Your hampster will chew it up.
