| No, they are not recommended for that reason. From what I've heard anyway...

| Mine love knotted rope toys but when I buy them I cut the fringed ends short. I also monitor them when I pick up toys and when they get old I replace them...they can take a lot of punishment and several washings before they give out. The only problem I've ever had was when I bought some (new) at the flea market in Florida at a little pet supply shop and after they chewed on them for a little while they all started throwing up. I figured they were either cheap imports that had something in them or they had something on them from sitting in the open flea market so I threw them away and the pukies stopped. |

| I threw mine out because I heard they can be dangerous if the string is digested- could cause a blockage. |

| I think they are fine if they are never left alone with them. I have never had any issues and have had rope toys for years.

| Fynnlie LOVES his rope toy. It's the only thing that saves my fingers from being gnawed to pieces.

| Me too! All thrown away! Ive had 2 friends who this has happened to and it was emergency surgery for about $3,000. I don't have that kind of money for something that could be avoided! I would not do it, better safe than sorry!
