Gluesticks

Are Hot Glue Gun Glue Sticks Non-Toxic?

I am about to build a playground out of popsicle sticks for my pet mice - it wouldn't be something that would stay in their cage - it would be for them to play on when I take them out of the cage. I want to use a hot glue gun because the glue is instant - bonds very well to wood and has no odour. Is it non-toxic though? The package doesn't say either way - it just says it's acid free and a must for crafter tool set. Are hot melt glue sticks generally non-toxic? They have no smell and I remember kids back whe I was a kid that would chew on them - and they didn't get sick.

1. Yes, they are supposed to be non-toxic. I just wouldn't allow the mice to chew and swallow the pieces. They could get impacted and stuck in their small intestines since the material might not break down.
2. You can buy glue that is non and toxic glue for your glue gun.
