Hello, I'm brand new to this forum and looking for some information regarding toys for my one year old hedgie, Kepler. So far I've observed that he loves his wheel and toilet paper rolls for entertainment, but he's ignored plastic eggs and stuffed toys.
I'm keen on giving him more entertainment and was looking at a few pine wood guinea pig toys, such as a little wooden dumbbell with a bell in it, a wooden wicker ball, and a wooden seesaw short enough there wouldn't be any risk of him falling and hurting himself. However, because these toys that I've found online are all pine based, and it is possible he would end up chewing them, I was wondering whether this would pose any health risks? I know that pine shavings in his cage could have harmful effects, so I'm wondering whether anyone has information on whether pine toys could also be detrimental. The product info states that they are ultraviolet sterilized. Thank you!
