Cages / Cedar armoire
« on: January 16, 2020, 04:04:01 PM »
My daughter wants to buy an old armoire to make a cage out of, and it might be cedar. I see everywhere cedar is toxic to chinchillas, but to what extent? Chewing on it, breathing it? Being anywhere near it? What if the cage is coated? What if the insides were wrapped with wire where they couldn't chew it? I've seen so many cages on Pinterest that had to be made of cedar, just wondering to what extent the toxicity is. After all, the wood needs to be kiln dried in order to make furniture out of it. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks.
