Making things with lolly sticks: what glue to use?

[Philosophyfox]

I have a lot of craft lolly sticks and matchsticks knocking around and I've seen a lot of lovely creations people have made on their threads. I am wondering if super glue is safe to use?

[mangoandmimi]

i'm goin to buy a gluegun lmao. its strongest

[Philosophyfox]

I do need a glue gun...
I just don't want ham features eating anything he shouldn't lol.

lmao the thing wich really bugged me was that after about 2 months of collecting mc donalds lolly stick / coffee stirrers (you seen them?) i was soo proud - till i realised the glue i was using was toxic, boy i was sooo angry by then lol. starting allll over again now ahh well its worth it

[Philosophyfox]

Awww! That's something I would do! At the moment I just want to make some ramps that are hamster safe as I'm not sure if they can use ladders?

My rats are so much easier to set up for, they don't need ramps or ladders and just leap everywhere!

yep i was making a lollly stick house - even had a little door frame grr!!
i know lol i bought a bird ladder and wasss soooo excited and they couldnt get up oonto the second rung bless them. so i added lolly sticks and they love it
ohh i made a climbing wall for mimi the other day - lol dug out some lego and thought the little tyreswere perfect hammy size so lol glued them on - with nontoxic glue lol. but guess whatt its never used >.< xx

Those Jenga things are amazing! Look really sturdy too.
I've just made lolly stick ramps based on card, I found some non-toxic kids glue and it seems to be holding...pics later once dried and certain of no fumes ^.^
