Are packing 'peanuts' safe? *Need answer!*

[BeccaB00]

I just got my order in from drs foster and smith, I was going to give the box to

the rabbit, but what about the packing stuff? The stuff that 'cushions' the items?

Can I give him that to? It's not colored. I was wondering cause it would make

a good cushiony bed, lol

I would say since it is made for ferrets to play in, and not to eat, even though it might not be toxic, I wouldn't want my bunny eating much of it.

Some packing peanuts are made of corn starch. Some are not and should be kept away from pets. The ones they sell for play may not be the same thing they pack with.

These, I belive, are made from corn starch. But I wont give them to him just incase

Thanks for the answers!
