Tycos_mom Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yes I give them to my birds all the time sometimes I even hang a wholle roll of tp or paper towels in their cages to shred they have a great time with it. Just make sure there is no glue residue on them and it shoul be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raposa Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I make the toilet paper tubes into foraging toys. close the ends, poke holes in them, and hang them in the cage filled with treats or hand toys :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yes, they're very good to use and they also serve as communication concerning potty training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaxtersMom Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I used to give my fids the empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls but then I heard/read an article in a magazine the glue on them could harm them. Article I read said there was zinc in the glue so no more paper towels rolls here. I have no idea if it was true or not but can't take chances untill I know for sure. Has anyone else heard this? I do believe if Dave says it's ok, then it's ok;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Been using them for years including the ones that have paper towels rolled on them. I've never had any problems with them other than that the birds make a mess because they shred them and I'm the one that has to clean it. But if you feel nervous about it, don't use them.

judygram Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I allow Josey to tear them up, makes great toys and a greyt mess but then thats what they like to do. I think it is safe to say that if Dave has been giving them to his greys for years then they are safe enough for he would know if they weren't, I put my full trust in him.

Tycos_mom Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I've had Fergie for 9 years now and she loves to rip them appart to find the treats inside. she's happy and healthy and she just had her annual check up and everything came back great so she will continue to get her favorite foraging toy those and the little sunkist raisen boxes are the 2 most favorite forging toys sometimes I'll even leave a raisen or 2 in the little box.

judygram Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 OMG, I have left all the raisins in for Josey when I use that little mini size, I tuck one inside a toilet paper roll and crimp the edges to hold it and she tears it up in no time flat, I think most all of the raisins fall into the tray when she rips into it.

Azzie Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 My 'keets and CAG both play with toilet rolls and the longer kitchen towel ones. They all love them. One of the 'keets likes to wear them on his head, run around blindly crashing into things, and when he falls over he laughs. I was thinking about giving Cleo an egg carton as well for foraging.
