I just had my first litter a bit over a week ago, so I was initially unsure of what to use as a substrate. I started mine out on paper towels (what I saw most recommended on the internet), but shortly thereafter I found some aspen shavings and switched them out. The babies seem a lot less nervous in the shavings, and so far I haven't noticed any issues with the substrate being ingested during feeding or anything.
