Acrylic paint and bunnies

Oh yea sorry not walls [emoji38]
Yea I never really smell them too much, but there's probably something toxic for them to breath in in guessing...?
Last night I was spraying like a plastic coating on something which has a really strong solvent smell, outside in the dark because again I assume that'd be bad for buns [emoji38]
Art and animals just don't mix [emoji38]
Yeah, I wouldn’t use a spray indoors. Painting with acrylics I would do indoors and have done with buns in the past. I do a lot of crafting and as long as it’s in a large room and I air it regularly I don’t see there being a problem, other than bits of fur in your paint! My bridge bun Smudge, was a house bun originally and I used to paint around her. When I moved in with my parents she had free range of the garden and had the summer house as her base. She was never happier than being involved in what was happening. So much so that she got cream masonry paint on herself when she checked out the wall that had just been painted. She also got marine varnish on her back when she decided to relax under Dad’s workbench!
Ah thanks
made me feel a bit better it's just getting ridiculous, I think I need a workshop or something [emoji38] resin is going to be toxic isn't it? [emoji38]

On the toxicity of acrylics front, most artists' acrylics are fine, but some of the modellers' paints are baaaad: the Tamiya acrylica are really solvent-y. Can't speak for oils, won't use them, but I've used enamel paints in the past and would use them in the same 'free range' house as the buns but not in the same room if they were confined, and I'd try and barrier them out from the room I was using them ::makes note to do enamel painting not in buns' room::
Yea so it's either one living room with a pair of buns, or another living room with a different pair of buns, or my bedroom with two hammies [emoji38] the kitchen and bathroom or other people's bedrooms are the only rooms left, bedrooms are out... So is bathroom, and kitchen has no door and is part of one of the living rooms effectively..
So in this case, would you not use acrylics in the bun spaces? As they can't escape? I mean it's a huge room, with the kitchen attached but still they can't leave the area...
