Is sugar cane safe?

[londongerbils]

Hello! Strange question...
I have some eco toilet roll tubes that are made of 90% sugar cane, 10% wood pulp with no bleach, inks, dyes or perfumes. Is this safe for gerbils like the cardboard rolls or not?

I would imagine it is fine. They dont usually ingest the cardboard (and we don't really know what they make other cardboard out of (so you are one up on that anyway). And I used to take toilet rolls off ANYONE willing to give them - so mine could have had roll made of anything?

So, unless you actually see them sitting there - going mmmmm this is tasty - I don't think you need to worry.
