Question Crafting questions

As a soon to be dwarf hamster owner I am working on some diy projects! I have bought some popsticles, but I have some questions about the glue.
I have read a lot of threats /watched a of YouTube videos, but I basically want to double check it with you guys. Since I am living in the Netherlands I am not able to buy the pva glue easily. I went to the toy store and bought "water based glue". My thoughts; water based glue is safe- but now I am doubting... Could someone please confirm to me whether water based glue is safe? Is this the same as pva just under another name?

Furthermore, I was wondering whether I could use water color / aquarelle paint for dying the popsticles? If it's safe I want to just use the cheap kids version. I googled it but I could not really find an answer.

Thank you in advance for helping me! I just don't want to make mistakes that could harm my hamster, if it is easy to avoid! (For example; I bought I terrarium second hand and I was stressing so much about the silicone kit. I almost bought pet safe aquarium silicone kit, before my mother pointed out to me that this is already made for pets so that it is probably safe hihi ...)

Do you have a picture or a link to glue you bought as that may help to determine whether its safe or not?
I'm also unsure whether water colours are safe for hamsters.

Erin's Animals has a good video to make hamster safe glue (from flour and water) and paints from fruit and veg, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8q5B_grqI0 - both glue and paints are safe for your hamster to chew on.

Thank you! I decided to go with another glue type after all- one of which I was sure that it was definitely safe!

Thanks for the video- I defentily got some inspiration from it!
