Is this grass mat safe?

Yes it's safe but all my chins have only peed on grass mats similar to the one you posted. It went to the garbage after the first day in their cage.
 
I bought a small grass mat at PetSmart, and my boy loved it. He would drag it around, and soon enough tore it to shreds. I got him a second one, as well as a larger one (about the size of the one in the link, I'd guess). He destroyed the second small one, although a piece of it still remains. The larger one: just uses it to pee on. I thought it was just my boy, so it's funny to see that others have had this happen.

I keep it around, especially since switching to fleece instead of bedding. I had left a box of bedding in his cage for him to use as a litter box, but he didn't so I took it out. I leave the mat in as one of his regular spots to pee. I've washed it before; it takes about a day to air dry.
