I could try the food colouring, but it usually only comes in like 3 different colours in regular stores.

I saw the Snake tutorial last night. The annoying thing is all my kitchen roll tubes are at my dad's house so I can't make it yet . I started the digging tower in August, I should probably finish that .

For food colouring, do you have any craft stores or baking shops? If so they would have a large selection in the baking section.

You can always mix colours as well, if it helps.

I went and took a look at the food colouring in the nearest store… it's not natural and I don't think natural food colouring will be easy to find here.
I found this web site however Lerbaseret maling - Naturlig miljømærket lermaling fra Levende Farver
Sorry for the Danish again, but it's the only way to be sure that it is available to me. It's some kind of non toxic clay based paint. Could that be hamster safe possibly?

[AmityvilleHams]

I wouldn't use it.Clay would not be something you want your hamster to eat,so an alternative is necessary.

[Juliebrei]

How about this then?

This is driving me absolute crazy… I think that's pretty much as natural as you get in Denmark.
Also, school glue was safe right? Don't think I really got a confirmation on that.

[AmityvilleHams]

Unless you can figure out the ingredients,I wouldn't take that chance.It is a very annoying issue when you want nice things,but at the end of the day it is better to not take such risks that could harm pets

At least in U.S.A Elmers School Glue is just fine

[AmityvilleHams]

Elmer's glue is fine,but other school glues are slightly risky.

[Juliebrei]

this is the glue i have. Skolelim, 100ml | 39002
it says water soluble and in the test document it says non toxic.

[AmityvilleHams]

If you have no access to Elmer's glue,it would possibly be safe.Keep in mind non toxic to humans doesn't always equal non toxic to hamsters,as there are plenty things which humans can have which are incredibly unsafe for hamsters.Try and get Elmer's glue though,unless it is physically impossible.

[Juliebrei]

I'm pretty sure its not possible. not the non toxic anyway. just because it says elmers doesn't auomatically make it safe does it?
this is the only emers i found.
