Question
Hey I am just woundering what kinda wood can guinea pigs eat? We just moved onto 100 acres of forest and we have birch, pine, white, and almost every wood you can think of, except willow! I know i can feed willow but we dont have it. I have 5 guinea pigs and I was going to cut some short stumps and hallow them so they can eat and crawl into it. I just need to know what wood? Thank you for reading this, can you give me an answer?

Answer
Hi Amber

You need to avoid any wood that has oils in it like pine and cedar. As far as I know all other woods are fine as long as they are free from pesticides.

I dont have a lot of wood where I live so sometimes buy the twigs from the pet store, but natural wood is much better.
