Pet Preserver

Wood dressings that are pet safe?

Ok, so I'm going to build my guinea pigs a new hutch and run. I'm wondering what wood preserver/dressing is safe to use. I obviously don't want them to get ill or die from chewing it! I'm in the UK, so links/shops to buy it from would be good.

I used to get a branch off an apple tree, they like that because it is sweeter than other types of wood, and safe for them to eat. It would stop them chewing their cage which was made out of ceder. You shouldn't need a preserver or dressing. I wouldn't use anything that has been exposed to chemicals. Make sure you know where the wood, has come from and whether the wood was stained or not. You could ask the hardware store near you for the best type. Good luck
