Tissue Paper
Papyrus Tenuis Delicatus
Tissue paper, toilet paper, and plain gift-wrap tissue are not food, even when they look harmless. Plain paper can be fine for supervised shredding, but skip anything heavily dyed, metallic, glittery, or scented.
Let rabbits play with paper as a toy, not a meal. If they swallow a big wad—especially colorful or coated paper—watch appetite and droppings and call your vet if anything changes.
Guideline: Never Feed
Type: Miscellaneous
Other Names: Facial tissue, toilet paper, gift wrap tissue

Plain paper is not a classic toxin like a plant, but it is not food. Inks, dyes, glitter, and fragrances can irritate rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas and raise obstruction risk if large wads are swallowed.
Should I feed my pet Tissue Paper?
No. Do not feed tissue paper to rabbits, guinea pigs, or chinchillas. Plain paper can be a shred toy only—not a meal.
How much can I feed them?
Do not offer as food. If your pet swallowed a lot of dyed or glittery paper, contact your veterinarian if appetite or stool changes.
