I'm not sure but I think they're fine if they don't have fertilizer in them. I'd be interested in knowing for sure too.

They are made fron either coir or recycled cardboard. I think they would be safe for hams . They are biodegradable and break down easy when wet. As long as they are not used, I cant see any harm in it. The hams might like chewing them.

That was my thinking. They had some decently sized ones in the poundshop. 30 in a pack for £1.
Can't complain

They will last some time. A bargain for a quid.

They're safe, as they're just recycled cardboard I use them as treat toys and I made a water bottle holder out of one

^^ THAT is awesome! I bet it's way more stable than a loo roll tube!
