Question Is pritt stick okay for hamsters?

I'd like to make Minnie a little cardboard toy but want to know what glue I can use on it. Is Pritt Stick okay or not?

Not sure... Does it say non toxic on it? I have one somewhere (what person doesn't? lol), can't remember what it says on it.

I ate Pritt Stick as a kid... I'm still here :/

Same lol. It says "Safe and Solvent Free", that translates as Non Toxic for me but...

Sounds fine to me. It's not like you will be using loads either I expect.

Nope, just a few little smears to glue two cereal boxes together. I reckon the coating on her cage bars is probably worse for her than a bit of Pritt would be

Well, if you use a incy little bit, Minnie should be okay. When making our girls their cardboard box houses (what ham doesn't love them!?) we use the tiniest little bit of sellotape Just make sure that you check on her and make sure you replace the box when it gets really chewed up

Isn't pritt stick marketed as glue for kids? If it's kid safe, in all likelihood it's pet safe too

That said, I never found it very good at sticking things

It was fine! Min had a lovely time in the bath and even climbed onto my (sleeve covered) hand to get a treat I'd put on it! Thanks guys
