Safe wood
« on: April 14, 2011, 11:50:11 PM »

Going to put some wood planks (around 4 or 5 inches high) around my inside of the bottom level of my chinchillas cage (to stop bedding, dust, and other variouse items from falling out of the cage), what would be a safe wood I could get from lowes or home depo that would be okay for them to chew on?

i use untreated pine furniture boards. they're just solid pine 'shelves', come in different sizes and i get them from b&q (it's a diy superstore) - i do have to regularly change mine because they tend to shred them but i guess they double as a chew!  ::)

they usually, least around here have kd pine, and they also have poplar, which isn't too cheap, but its nice looking wood.
