It's not the thin cardboard type..it's cardboard from a box with the double layer. Thoughts?

I have never been a big fan of the paper/cardboard toys. I know the birds love to shred them, but I would be worried that they may swallow some and cause some obstruction. I am able to get hold of plenty of bark for my guys, so I don't need to use toys like that. I make my own.

This can be disastrous.
