I tried newspaper before I tried paper towels and her skin was always so dry. The humidity levels were kept the same (50-60%) as with all other substrates.

I have heard of respiratory problems from uses drier substrates (as well as many other causes) such as newspaper or aspen. I am cautious of this, as my BP had a RI several years ago, but has been fine since the treatment that I gave her then. Has anyone else heard of or had this problem with these types of substrates?
