I wouldn't use it. I wouldn't let a glider pick at it when used on skin-if they won't leave it alone-get a collar. I would not want it on a toy-because by God mine will find a way to get at it. The first thing I had expected someone to mention (and they didn't) was this part of the chemical name of EITHER glue: CYANO Which is short for CYANIDE. A CYANO-anything has a cyanide component, most of which are toxic, some are deadly-even the normally non deadly can be if exposure is in sufficient amount. A web search for CYANO will turn up a lot of info-including toxicities. Any compound with that in it's name and a red flag should go up-potassium cyanide is the instantly deadly one most have heard of-but all but one form (in a color-prussian blue) have some degree of toxicity.

So I'm talking more about regular grooming.. A glider doesn't have to pick or SM after a neuter to come into contact with that glue.

Externally the toxic effects of that variant should be minimal as long as it's not ingested. So far (since gluing after neuters on gliders has BEEN the lab tests on this)skin contact is survivable. Whether they have itching, burning, other effects...who knows? They aren't going to start talking and tell us. No studies have been done on them. It's "assumed" they can handle it as well as other animals-and we all know how well that works-Metacam may be fine for a cat or dog-but more than a few days can and will kill a glider. So will catnip. I had glue on ONE glider-my SM, Riker, 6 years ago. Since then, only stitches. Just because my glider can't tell me their throat is swelling and it's hard to swallow doesn't mean it's not-and I'd rather not have them in discomfort I don't know about and can't predict-medically speaking. I've been through enough SM. I won't put a glued toy in their cage or tent (among other things) either. Or anything with resins that may be harmful (a pine branch can kill). And so on. Cyanide is a known toxic agent.

Well I'm with you. To me glue and glider toys automatically I would assume a no no. Intresting to think about though.. We could probably have some VERY cool toys if some sort of glue was ok

I conceeded that the household type of super glue would be considered unsafe but NO one has given any reason why the surgical glue is unsafe to use other than it might not be durable. I did last night after hearing back from Tristan, but when you were asked more questions there, you chose to not come back to respond any longer. Guess you missed my post. First of all, ANY type of glue can be/is toxic. Whether it is highly toxic or low toxicity and the instructions should be followed as directed. Especially when using SURGICAL glue. Secondly, he uses no where near the amount on a glider that would be needed for use on toys OR wheels... If too much is ingested(surgical glue), it could be harmful to your glider. Could cause diarrhea & vomiting. Super glue can be FATAL... He said sorry for the short answer but he is now sick.... I can not believe you would still even be CONSIDERING this an option with even the slightest bit of doubt on the safety issue...then again, I personally dont believe this question was originated for you and your wiffle balls...

If it is safe for them to injest while grooming themselves post neuter, then why would the surgical type be unsafe for toy making? I would imagine first of all that with a post neuter incision the AMOUNT of glue vs the amount needed to super glue a bunch of plastic balls together would differ. Secondly, is ANY toy that important that you would continue with your plans to create it with ANY questions regarding the safety of the products involved?? And, you keep asking us why then is surgical grade glue ok to use for the neuters and not for toy making and Oh, I dunno, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say firstly, that we don't all claim to be scientists or to know it all, but an ounce of common sense goes a looong way. If in doubt, THROW IT OUT.

Kinue, we see it differently, but thats ok. I still love ya Glue has been PROVEN to be toxic and/or cause illness if too much is ingested... The polydactylism has not been. There has been no studies bringing health conditions and polydactulism together.

Plastic and glues do not go well- most glues only work with a surface that will absorb some of the glue giving a tighter bond. Any glue that is strong enough to bond 2 plastics permanetly together, cannot be safe for gliders even once dried. Just use a strip of fleece to tie the wiffle balls together. Ta da- safe toy for the gliders.

ADULT MALE glider gets nuetered only ONCE in his lifetime, So he could be potentially exposed to a SMALL amount of glue ONE TIME...but the glider would be exposed MULTIPLE times to the toy and potentially the glue.
I also brought up ADULT MALE glider b/c somethings act differently between sexes... there could be harmful outcomes in a FEMALE exposed to glue, not to mention a momma w/ joeys ip or the joeys themselves! Joeys immune systems are not as strong as an adults.

Jen, you have been the first to give what I see as credible insite on this. The cyanide aspect is definately a concern. As I already said, I will, for my toy, use the soldering iron and "weld" them together. I'm still intrigued/concerned by the use of it for neutering. I see a lot of assumptions that the amount I was considering using was somehow vasty more than one or two drops (less than being used on a neuter with extra drops). I did some more research and found that cyano is a carbon atom joined to a nitrogen atom. It can then be joined to another atom at the carbon atom or joined back to another cyano (again at the carbon atom)forming cyanogen. Depending on just which atom, determines what type of substance it becomes. For example, if joined with a hydrogen atom, it becomes hydrogen cyanide. Acrylate are the salts and esters of acrylic acid and is what makes up most plastics and vinals. When these two compounds (combinations of atoms) are combined (again at the carbon atoms), the two become "super glue". In order for the cyanide to be toxic or lethal, the compound must be able to release cyanide ions. Methal cyanide does NOT release the cyanide ions. So, methal cyano acrylate (super glue) would not release the cyanide ions. Hence, why it isn't a lethal form of cyanide. However, the Methal is a combo of Myristic, ether and alcohol. It is considered an alcohol in the methane series. Also known as methyl alcohol and acording to the MSDS sheet is highly toxic and can not be made non poisonous. It effects the nervous system and the liver. So, I suppose the "lethal/ toxic" issue here would be the amount of exposure to it. With the super glue, not worth the risk with a small animal. The surgical super glue is 2-octyl cyanoacrylate. Still researching the 2-octyl aspect of it...

I'm pretty sure formaldehyde is a human carcinogen.
