A friend of mine has a ferret that loved eating those environmentally friendly non-styrofoam packing peanuts that dissolve in water. Apparently that's actually a safe thing to do?

    It's basically just cornstarch

    They're not made from food-grade cornflour afaik, so I wouldn't risk it personally. But they are fun to dissolve in water when you're bored.

    Edit: if you're in the US, it doesn't matter, because it seems nothing there is food grade anymore.
