Painting the inside of hutches?

I believe the wilkos brand of pain is pet safe and inside the buns shed i am contemplating touching up the hutches (just the place they can hop in and out of to feel secure) because i've had the old hutch for a few years now and there are water marks and it looking a little run down. Was going to paint them but then wondered if i should do the inside (where they hide and sleep and eat hay) or will it be all fume like and be unhealthy for their lungs? what if they chew the wood will it be ok to do the inside? :wave:
 
If painting the inside you shouldn't have the bunnies in there for at least 24hrs, maybe longer depending on the paint.
 
My personal opinion is that unless the inside of the hutch is a mess, I wouldn't paint it at all to be on the safe side. It's not like the bunnies are going to go back in and think "ooh, I like the colour ..." :lol:
