04ab130695: Toilet roll instead of cotton? (10. Sep 2010 16:42)

just wondering if i could use moist toilet roll instead of cotton to put in a test tube with queen. Will this harm her?

If there are no chemical properties like perfume or sth.,i would guess there are no probs.
But - did you test the 'moist properties' ? ^^ I'm not sure if toilet paper has the same like cotton.
I would think that the paper dryes to fast, or dissolving into the water oO.I'm pretty sure it will clear away ^^ .

But hey , test it in an empty test-tube ;-) .... and report.


Edit : Or do you want to use it instead of a watertank?That would be to less...

Have tested it and yes, the water goes cloudy and the paper dries quick :( have invested in some cotton buds =P~
