non sticky- sticky floor tiles!

Came home from Hampton Court Friday to find o/h had worked like a Trojan all day building the new rabbit hutches.:D :D . He'd even lined them with the floor tiles we've used in all the hutches. :D Problem is went out yesterday and they'd all dropped off:shock: :shock: :evil: Dutifully stuck them all back, but they've dropped off today (heat maybe??:roll: ). I need to put them back up, but, am mindful about adhesives, in case the bunnies chew at some stage. :( Has anyone used a safe and reliable adhesive in their hutches and can recommend something?
 
Homemade Glue Recipe
This is a very basic glue but works. Simply mix water and flour together until you have a paste that is the consistency of pancake batter. Heat on low for 5 minutes. You can add color (food coloring) or flavors to it.

This recipe is non-toxic but it does take awhile to dry.

Here is another Glue Recipe

1 cup tapioca starch
4 Tablespoons of sugar
2 cups of cold water

Mix starch, water and sugar in a sauce pan until all ingredients are dissolved. Stir over medium heat until it forms a paste. This mixture should be stored in an airtight container that just fits the amount that you have left.

Let us know how it goes?:D
 
Thank you By-Tor, do you know if this will work on a surface that is already sticky? ( the floor tiles are those self adhesive ones) so they feel sticky, just don't stay stuck!:shock: :shock: :lol:
 
I wonder if those glue recipies would go mouldy outside where it's damp though?

I would use sheet vinyl rather than tiles, and put a batten all the way around the edge to stop them pulling it up and eating it - which isn't much help is it - sorry! That heavy duty carpet tape would stick them down maybe?
