Hello
I searched through the forums here and on GuineaLynx today looking for some answers on glue. Now I am more confused than ever. Here's what I gathered - Please let me know if I have all this right:
> Hot glue is safe to use to attach the coroplast together on the outside, but no where inside the cage where a piggle can eat it.
> Non toxic wood glue is okay for repairing wooden hidey houses if they become broken. As long as the glue is not exposed, it is okay.
> Aquarium silicone is okay to use...but for what? That one confused me. I couldn't understand what the poster was using it for.
> Superglue is bad, right? All those fumes and everything? For small repairs? Or to hold coroplast? I can't imagine it is good.
What kinds of glue have you used and found to be okay?
My second question is that I have read that wood must be treated so that it won't rot from the urine. Are most wooden hidey houses sold in stores treated? If you made one yourself, what would you treat it with? I am a crafty person and I love to make things.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
