I was told that wood is safe to give chinchillas to chew on. She love popsicles....she gets only a few bites of the actual popsicle, but is ok to give her the stick to chew on...she loves that too. We have fun playing tug-of-war and watching her play with it. I not sure if that is a safe wood to give her. Please if someone can let me know.

Thanks, Kim (Willia)
