Title: Process for wood baking
Post by: Toyger on December 22, 2016, 06:06:48 AM
I read up on what woods and other natural items are known to be safe and found a nice list of trees and plants that include some I know where to find pesticide free in the wild here, a list made specifically for chinchillas made by breeders. But it said "All woods should be thoroughly cleaned, boiled, and baked" and though it sounds easy enough, it's not very specific.... Can anyone explain the process for me so I do it right? =)

Do you use any soaps or similar in the cleaning process, which ones if so?
Boil how long and a boil or simmer?
Bake... put it in the oven? ^^; What temperature (celsius) and how long? Do you wrap it up or just put it on a tray? =)

Thanks for any help =)
