Hiya,
My pigs sleep on Hay with newspaper underneath at the moment

Now this might be a dumb question :{ but can they sleep on shredded paper?
I always have lots to shred & it looks comfy?
 
I have used shredded paper before when I have run out of aubiose, no reason why you cannot use it!
 
I use it all the time. just got to keep an eye and change it when it gets damp. I get loads of paper from my work and my OH's work so never run out, so that makes it nice and cheap too :)) and i can put loads in too keep them warm, ialso put a bit of hay on top.
 
I use loads of the stuff especially in the winter. I find it great for keeping them warm as you don't have to keep replacing it except when dirty - when I used hay they kept ignoring the hayrack and eating their bed and I'd be paranoid they weren't warm enough. Also very cheap - get it free from work.
 
Oh just thought of another question, one this paper is 'used' can you put it in your paper bin?
 
Putting a layer of unshredded newspaper sheets under the shredded paper makes cleaning out easy: simply roll up the newspaper sheets and dispose!
