Could you use this paint to paint the outside of a wooden hutch that will be inside at all times? I don't know a thing about paints lol

I don't know if that's safe, but I heard Cuprinol paint is safe! Don't hold me to it though.
I think @biscandmatt knows

Thanks, the guinea pigs won't be able to chew on the paint or anything like that i just need to know if i can put it on a wooden hutch

Yes you can use chalk paint on wood, I did a bed with some, but it looked more shabby sh#t than chic! I got carried away and slapped it on too thick

IF the piggies can't get to it, it should be fine BUT it isn't outdoor paint like the Cuprinol stuff is - that withstands wind rain etc.

EDITED - I should learn to read! sorry you are keeping it inside! Me too!

I 'd look at Homebase for the colour range of Cuprinol but also check Amazon for the colour you want as sometimes it is cheaper (check postage tho)

Just as an aside, I am keeping mine inside in a hutch but will paint using the Cuprinol in case it needs to go outside plus I believe it is animal safe?

The cuprinol paint is great!

cuprinol garden shades and wilkos own brand garden shades are the ones most commonly used and described as safe
