Thank you for sharing this! My rabbits enjoy playing in and nibbling on cardboard boxes more than my cats. This is very good to know

As terrifying as this is, it doesn't appear to be true, thankfully. It never hurts to be too careful with our precious fur babies, though.
Does Amazon Spray Boxes With Chemicals Dangerous to Pets?

I would still err on the side of caution. There is a petfood recall going on right now where 28 dogs died from the presence of aflatoxin in their food. This shouldn't be happening and yet it has. My heart goes out to those who lost their beloved pets in this tragic situation. What a crying shame!

I used to raise gerbils and gerbils just love cardboard boxes. I put them in a box while cleaning their cage. If I had left them in any longer they would have died. Someone had sprayed some toxic chemicals in that box as they were staggering and sickly when removed from the box. In general it is wise to remove any cardboard boxes from the house- tape is dangerous as cats will chew on it. If it's recycled cardboard you have no idea what chemicals are in it.

Absolutely. Always better to be safe than sorry with our babies. It's very disappointing to think that things like this can happen.
