What types of glue can I use?
I have plans to build a little bed/playpen for my hamster. I will be using small wooden dowels and I need something to glue them together.
So now, I'm seeking a completely non-toxic glue that would be harmless if my hamster ingested it from chewing. Does anyone know of anything I could use?
I'm trying to save some money on this so anything cheap is great. I live in Canada so some brands may not be available here. Thanks!

PVA
Or anything thats child safe really. If its safe for kids to eat it then its safe for hamsters to eat it

Re: What types of glue can I use?
I actually got the idea of the dowel house from your thread, Gazmo
But about the wood glue, what if my hamster chews the house and eats the glue? Is that safe?
I'll definitely keep childrens glue in mind, thanks!

Re: What types of glue can I use?
Just check the packaging, if it says its non-toxic when dry then its safe. If it doesn't say that then it won't be safe.
We've used wood glue in the past too, bought it from a local arts and crafts shop.

Anything that is basically children's crafting glue is alright.
