What is a good non-toxic wood stain?

Question

I want to stain a bunny hutch I ordered a darker color. Can anyone recommend a good non-toxic wood stain (in case Stinker ever decides to chew the wood---so far he hasn't) that is available from a hardware store such as Lowe's. I would prefer not to have to special order. I have heard anything water soluble is OK...is that true?

Answer 1

Yes a water based stain is best. But if he chews on it he may get sick. The only other thing I know is safe are natural wood dyes but those are custom orders and hard to find. On the plus they are also a green material! Good luck with your Bunny hutch!
