When we had our gerbils in the garage, we put about an inch or two of pine
in the bottom, then gave each cage an entire roll of cheap, unscented,
undyed, single-ply toilet paper from a case we bought from Sam's
Club. They happily shredded it (one roll of TP fills up a ten gallon tank)
and make a good cage-sized nest with it, with the pine incorporated into it
almost like structural support.
