I have made 6 cages and have painted them with acrylic paint both inside and out, wioll theses be safe when they have cured, if not what can be done to make them safe besides scraping them? Thanks

That really depends on your definition of safe. Understand that "safe" is always defined in arbitrary terms. Those arbitrary terms are usually reasonably explained, but they are not absolute. I think acrylic latex paint is fairly safe, but I don't think it's approved for use on children's toys, for example.

Basically, it is safe to a degree. As long as whatever animal you put in there isn't chewing on the sides or scratching the paint off , makeing it possible for it to ingest it, it should be safe.
