Can I use normal paper instead of newspaper for my to-be piggies litterbox?

[sh2pid]

Can I use normal paper eg, used paper from my school exercise books to put under the hay in my litterbox?
Sorry if this sounds confusing

It possibly won’t be absorbent enough.
Newspaper or proper animal bedding would be best

If you don't get a lot of newspapers in your home you could always consider asking neighbours or at the local newsagent for unwanted papers.
Newspaper works best as it is 'cheap' paper so has a high recycled content and no coatings.
This is what makes it more absorbent than regular paper like school exercise books.

Thank you all so much for the advice! Its night time where I live so goodnight, good evening or good morning to you and your piggies!

Apologies if this sounds stupid but do you need to line it? I used some paper litter topped with hay without issues.
