I've been a crafter/builder for a long time and with having kids, I use a certain clear protective coating that is made expecially for kids on most everything I paint. I figure that with the "sand" coat that goes on the styrofoam and then a few layers of the nontoxic clear coat, it should be fine. But with anything one would buy to put in the cage, it still is the owner's responsibility to check these things from time to time for wear and tear.
A friend of mine came over yesterday that helps me with the Xmas parades every year and she laughed so hard when I showed her the basking platforms as she has a styrofoam cutter too! I also wonder if making the platforms out of a thin, lighweight wood would work just as well but then you'd have to use a scroll saw, not as much fun as the styrofoam cutter but we might try that route too!
