I just recently got these toys and I was wondering if they were safe. Please let me know something ASAP. THanks!

Critter Ka-Bobs are safe. I have used them a bunch. The head is plastic and if you have a chinchilla that chews that you will need to remove it, but I have found that if you keep it full of the treats they leave the heads alone.
The second one I have never seen before. I see in the write up that there is a plastic rattle in there somewhere. You'll just have to look and see if the plastic is something your chinchilla could possible eat.
Remember plastic can't be digested so if your chinchilla eats it he could get a deadly blockage.

on the orchard sticks they have apple and peach, apple is safe the peach isn't.
on the second link it depends on what type of wood, and what all the parts are actually. like the stars can be birch, mine are, but some places make them in other unsafe woods. so you would need to call the manufacturer and stress how important to know exactly what they are made out, chemicals?? pesticides???/ etc..
any other questions, please ask..
i do have a ton of safe products on my site if you are in the usa, just fyi... i don't want to sound pushy...

I would love to visit our site! I am assuming that everything on your site is perfectly safe for my Jose, correct? And is that the link at the bottom of your posts?

correct.
the cookies do have sugar, but i put them up because so many people love them, and if you only give tiny pieces here and there, they should be all fine. but if you ever get cookies, never give a whole one.
i do check with wholesalers before i buy, i stress the importance, i care more about the chins, than i do selling unsafe products just to make a buck.
