Literally just a few minutes ago I caught my gecko Rio eating the paper towel in her moist hide...first I wanna know if it's going to hurt her and then I'm wondering what a good alternative would be.

Are you sure she was purposely eating the paper towel or she ate some accidentally with her shed?

She currently is not shedding. I was actually going to change the paper towel to fresh new stuff, and when I went over to her tank she was sitting in her moist hide with her head poking out eatting the paper towel. It's weird to me she has never had an issue before with it.

One day I decided to switch Speckles' moist hide stuff from moss to paper towels and caught him eating it, too. He was pulling bits off of it, so I wasn't sure if it was just that he was trying to "fluff" it up and nest in it or what, but I switched it back to the moss instead.

It's the weirdest thing ever...I'll definitely have to pick up some moss

Make sure the crickets are not making it inside the humidity hide. If the cricket's guts seep into the paper towel, they can smell it and attempt to eat it.
