Is this box okay?

[Ellie-May]

Hi everyone,

just wondering if this box is okay for them to play in?

It depends what it’s had in it. As long as it hasn’t had any detergent\chemicals in it I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Agreed- it looks like great fun! Just be wary of the colouring on the box, they will munch it and if its got a plastic coating on it or any nasties in the print, it may not be good. If you have a plain card box that would be better

No it’s just had cartoon drinks in it

No there is no plastic on it just purely cardboard

Plain cardboard boxes are better. I have used boxes like this but only when I can keep a close eye on them, once the novelty of running in and out has worn off they may start chewing it as soon as they show signs of this I remove it. Plain cardboard is fine for them to eat in small doses so is less of a worry as long as you remove any tape and staples. They also love brown paper bags with hay in, I buy them in bulk on ebay.
