Toilet Paper Tubes

[Trina]

For a little toy to let Emmy play with, I waswondering if it was safe for her to chew toilet paper rolls - and is okif she swallows it? Do you get what I mean?

Sorry for the questions - I'm not sure if Katy or I should give it toher as a toy, I dont want anything bad to happen to her. Thanks for thehelp you guys!

they are fine as long as they are only chewed and not eaten

 

[Trina]

Thank you! :hug:

Do you know how to prevent rabbits from eating it?

 

[samandshawn]

sorry but you cant it depends on the bun, just keep an eye on her

 

[brimmhere]

yepjust keep a close eye! our buns all chew em toshreds especially cadbury he is a paper freakLOL he actually ate last years tax forms last weekeekkk!! so we just have to keep paper away from himbut he has at least 5 rolls on the floor to shred!!! sillybunnies

And don't freak out if she eats a littlepaper. It's not going to hurt her. But large quantitiescould cause blockages, so it is important to keep an eye onher.

I stuff the rolls with hay. Don't beconcerned about the rabbit eating the paper -- the cellulose is easilybroken down and digested, just as the cellulose in pellets, hay,grasses, etc. is.

Pam, mine love the hay stuffed tubes too.

I didn't know that paper broke down like that. I haven't givenApollo any paper in 2 weeks because he ate a huge section of the sheetof newspaper I gave him. I've been watching him like crazy since.

Paper tubes? Did someone say paper tubes?

Rainbows!

Most of the paper towel rolls, tp rolls, etc.are made of recycled 100% natural tree fiber. Be aware thatthere are some "paper" are actuallymade of synthetic fibers.

Wow rainbows! Those are HUGE paper tubes! :shock:

The big tube is actually a shipping tube. Pebblesuses it to dig, scratch, chew and tunnelthrough. It use to be 12 feet long, but Pebbleshaschewed it down to 11 feet long now.

The smaller tubes are from work. They were used for the plastic shrink wrap film.

Rainbows!

Visit your local carpet store. They usually haveempty carpet rolls laying around that you can pick up for free. You cancut them with a saw to make them fit your rabbits cage.
