Acrylic paint is not toxic for hermit crabs. Although if and when you paint them make sure the shells are empty, do not paint on the bottom or in the inside of the shell, and last when you are finished painting it, let it sit for 5-10 days to let poison dry out.

You can but I highly discourage you because the paint will chip off and the hermit crab will eat it. Even if it is not toxic, because they eat so little, even a small chip will have a big effect on them and they will most likely get sick, which can be fatal. So in the long-run, non-toxic paint is just as bad for hermit crabs as paint that isn't non-toxic.

No, acrylic paint is not safe for hermit crabs. It may not hurt them right away, but eventually the toxins in the paint will cause some harm to the crab.

never buy painted shells. they are all toxic because they dissolve in saltwater. If you want, you can buy polished shells that don't have any type of gloss or paint coat. polished shells are perfectly safe an equally pretty!

What will happen to a dog that ate paint?

Dog's eating paint is exzactly the same as us eating paint. The smell that it gives off is practically a WARNING to keep away and wash after using/touching it, eating it would be totally stupid. It is poisen to us, animals, anything. If a dog eats paint and you know they have take it to the vet straight away no matter who's dog it is because it is likely it will need to have injections, just the paint sucked out of it's stomach, witch means surgery.

What cant horses eat?

there are alot of things that are poisonios to horses but here are some that i do know. Lantana weed, oak, yew, ragwort, St John's wort Buttercups (only when fresh - safe when dried) Mouldy or dirty feed Black widow spiders are very poisonous to horses. Chocolate Twizzlers (what?) onions, pickles. Maple leaves in the fall are extremely poisonous to horses. The red leaves on the ground are attractive to some. The tannin in the leaves can cause a horse's kidneys to shut down and most of the time is fatal to the horse. Because maple leaves can be blown into your pasture, be aware of any maple trees in the close surrounding area. Foxglove flowers Oleander bushes are beautiful and are abundantly planted by cities along developed roads, dividers, and parks. All parts poisonous. Be aware if what these flowering plants look like if you trail ride. too many apple seeds can be toxis for horses and eating alot of potatoes especially green ones can be fatal


What are some things that are poisonous to horses?

There are many types of plants that are poisionous to horses including rag wort, and fields used for keeping horses should be checked for such plants. I suggest you pick up a book about horsemanship or check the internet for a list of plants and images of them to be sure. Here is a list, but it is by no means complete. * Lantana weed, oak, yew, ragwort, St John's wort * Buttercups (only when fresh - safe when dried) * Mouldy or dirty feed * Black widow spiders are very poisonous to horses. * Chocolate (is ok in moderation) * Twizzlers, onions, pickles. * Maple leaves in the fall are extremely poisonous to horses. The red leaves on the ground are attractive to some. The tannin in the leaves can cause a horse's kidneys to shut down and most of the time is fatal to the horse. Because maple leaves can be blown into your pasture, be aware of any maple trees in the close surrounding area. * Foxglove flowers Oleander bushes are beautiful and are abundantly planted by cities along developed roads, dividers, and parks.
