I'm wanting to paint the inside of the rabbit's shed but worried about paint and whether it's safe. I literally have no idea what is and isn't safe to use when it comes to this, can anyone help?
I Facebook messaged Cuprinol about their paints, as i too was looking to paint the inside of their new shed, however they said it's not safe at all for animals because of the chemicals inside - I asked about the Garden Shades and they said again it's not animals safe :/
That's strange - their Garden Shades always used to be advertised as animal safe and lots of us have used them to paint our hutches/runs.
Thank you for letting us know that Sharpie, I too had thought that Garden Shades were safe.
I'm planning to paint my new shed in the next few weeks. Thinking of trying Lakeland paint or woodstain. http://www.lakelandpaints.co.uk/advice/wood-stain-varnish-colours/?sl=en. I've been told by telephone that are organic and entirely safe for bunnies to chew. As they are water based I'm not sure about how much they protect the wood from rain but apparently they are designed to inhibit mould and algal growth.
In the past I used one of these. Took ages to dry but works. http://www.organicnaturalpaint.co.uk/wood-finishes/natural-exterior-wood-finishes/
