         Hi! I have an old Build a Bear box the bears come in (you know the ones that look like a house?) and I was wondering if I could use it as a little house for my bun because it has ink printed on it? I might be being overly cautious, but I don’t want him to chew it and get sick. 

        Thanks!

        PS If you don’t know what it is, it looks like this:

                ^ she’s a not-yet bunny owner though, and I don’t know that she’s thought of if the ink is toxic.

                    Definitely write the mfgr. and ask about the ink. Soy based ink is the safe kind, and it’s used in phone books, which is why those are safe.

                      This is all I could find on the website “We encourage you to recycle any printed material that you may receive from us.

                      A majority of our printed materials, including our Cub Condo® carrying cases are printed on at least partially recycled materials. We try to print completely on Forest Stewardship Council certified paper. The FSC® label certifies that this paper was made from fibers taken from forests that meet the environmental and social standards of FSC.

                      We are planting over 300,000 trees with the Arbor Day Foundation thanks to the help of you, our Guests, and our associates through our Friendship Forest program.”

                      Though they seem really open about what they do use for the toys, so I can only imagine you will be getting a response soon!
