Hi all

Since taking Danny to work for the first time it has now become an every day occurance that he thoroughly enjoys! to keep him amused I have been giving him folded bits of corrugated cardboard that he takes great delight in shredding, talking to a customer of mine she also has an African that loves corrugated cardboard but insists on soaking it, Danny had not done this until today when I caught him dunking it in his water and sucking the liquid out of it! this caused me to think of the glues used and whether they are likely to be harmfull, in case anyone else has had the same concerns, it seems that the glue used is actually manufactured from starch, this is usually obtained from corn, potato, rice and Tapioca and appears to be a "safe" glue on reading up about it there was nothing that really gave me cause for concern, thought I would share this, however, I don't intend to let Danny overdose on papier mache corrugated cardboard!

I never thought of that. Charlie loves to shred cardboard, although he doesn't really soak it. Glad to know it's safe though.

Danny's obviously getting his claws under the desk at work too
