Guinea Pig Safe Paint

[kerri Davidson]

I'm in the process of building a new wooden guinea pig indoor hutch. I'm almost finished but would quite like to paint the finished cage. It would just be for the inside and outside walls as the floors have been done with sticky back floor tiles then will be covered with wood shavings so they shouldnt technically be able to chew on it. I know that it has to be water based and low in VOC. I've read that Cuprinol Garden Colours paint should be okay but I was just wandering what anyone else has used and what has worked for you? Any help would be greatly appreciated
This is a link to the paint i was looking at

I advise you contact Cuprinol customer services for an answer.

Any child safe paint should be OK?

I used to use one from B&Q to paint the wooden platforms and toys in the hamster cages. Valspir or something? Sorry but the name changed and I cannot remember what it was called. I have not used it in 2 years, but I painted it on with a brush and it dried waterproof. It also came in cans to spray. It was great on wooden hamster wheels...

Plastikote! That was the name of the paint I used to use. It came in small pots or spray cans.

VOC free non toxic paints from Lakeland Paints

This seems to be good stuff

We have used the Cuprinol garden shades no problems, it was recommended on a hutch building site I saw

I always use cuprinol garden shades for rabbits and hamsters. Such a great range of colours!
