Default Hamster Haul!

So, after being inspired by numerous IKEA hacks on here, plus some videos by ErinsAnimals, I've been out today and bought lots of craft goodies!

I was very lucky to get lots of paint samples for only 10p each due to the B&Q shutting, near me! I went for the Cuprinol Garden Shades, after remembering reading on here that they're pretty hamster friendly. I bought a glue-gun and glue sticks, but I'm a little nervous as I couldn't find anywhere on them that they're non-toxic.

Luckily Pepper's not a chewer (just her bars! Grr) so I'm not too worried any more. I am only going to use the glue on inside parts that are not exposed. Obviously if I see the slightest sign of chewing, I'll get whatever I make taken out!

So, I was wondering, have any of you had any good hauls recently?

I'm planning to order a haul if that counts! I'll have to try B&G as was looking for safe paint that wouldn't be too expensive, testers sound like perfect solution as I only wanted a small amount. Planning a themed cage and it's difficult considering most things don't adhere to a colour scheme.

If Pepper isn't a chewer and you don't over use the glue I'm sure it will be fine! You could always try looking on eBay for non-toxic ones if you want peace of mind!

What are you planning to make for Pepper?

Check out Erin's website where she has loads of close up photos of the models. Potassium is such a cutie😍. Btw I have tried some of those projects out for when I get a hamster and they seem really good. Also, I speak from experience, that amount of lolly sticks will only make around two projects. Only recently, I convinced my mum to buy me 800 lollysticks approx 😳😁😉😂. I must find a way to try out that paint😉.
