These look great. So many lovely designs and already plastikoted.

I really like that they slot together and don't need any glue and that the roof is removable.

They do look good don’t they and not overly expensive either.

I'm not familiar with plastikote, but I would shy away from anything chemical-based that might be chewed? Also, without knowing if the colors are food-grade (safe for human consumption) I would be worried about toxic metals in the bright colors. Lead is common in yellow paints and is very toxic.

I hear you @Rescued One - it's not clear what is used to paint the flowers. Any painted area will be sealed by the plasticote but as you say it could be chewed. I assume it's hamster safe paint that has been used but good point - that might need checking. Although no paint is good to be ingested really.

Plastikote has been used in the Uk for many years now though for hamster items - for making smooth wood items wipe clean. It's water based, non toxic and virtually odourless. And comes in various different colours. It's possible the flowers are painted on with yellow plastikote.

Thankfully most hamsters don't chew their wood houses (although they might chew the stilts!)
