Answer 2

Paper towle is okay but do not use tolet paper baue your hamster might get it stuck in his cheaks (my hamster did that and i had to take him to the vet)

Answer 3

Yeah, it's perfectly fine. And napkins, old t-shirts, toilet paper, etc is ok, too. They like to shred them up to make their home nice and cozy. (:

And any boxes like cereal, oatmeal,  tea, or paper towel and toilet paper tubes is great, as well.

Have fun!

Answer 4

Yep, that's just fine. They like having things to shred and tear, and very much like to have paper towels or toilet paper nests!

You can also put in toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls for them to chew up. :]

Answer 5

Sure it is!, i have 1 too, just put a few sheets. it may tear it up a little but its only playing. =] So it's perfectly fine. Good Luck.
