its fine i do the same thing some times but i find it easyer to just use full sheet as its less messy and easyer to replace.

i just use the sheet paper rather then shred it, its easier to replace that way rather then pick loads of shredded paper up.

i use shredded paper for my corns and king, the corns sometimes like to burrow in it and seem very happy on it

used for a while on my royals but being heavier bodied they just flattened it and was as good

be careful what u shred and it should be fine
