Are these woods ok for chins

[boardinggamer]

My dad has a lot of wood an I was hoping it was ok to make toys and stuff for my chin. Here is a list of the wood he has

Cherry
Walnut
Pine (not sure it it's white pine or not)

Do they all have to be kiln dried?
I think it would be soooo cool if my dad can make stuff for my chin

Cherry and walnut are out. As a general rule, nut wood and stone fruits (Fruits that have a single pit like cherries or peaches) are out. Citrus trees are out as well. Seed fruits (apples and pears) are okay. There are a few exceptions, but I find that to be the easiest way to keep them straight when I don't have a list handy.

I find this list pretty comprehensive: http://exoticpets.about.com/od/chinchillas/qt/chinchillawoods.htm

As for pine, it does need to be kiln dried white pine, I believe due to the sap.

Thank you. Where I used to love there were plenty of white pine trees and of I had a kiln I would have gone over to get some. Ill just go to the store I guess.

That List is very helpful.

Cherry and walnut are not safe, the pine has to be kiln dried and not pressure treated. There are lists you can find of safe and unsafe woods for chinchillas online on several sites with a quick search, but I found one thread here for you listing safe and unsafe wood...

What are the finger traps made out of? I saw a few chinchilla chews with them. Does that mean they are safe? They are so easy to get that I might get a few so my chin has some stuff to chew on

I think they're bamboo or palm leaf, can't remember though.

Here's a link for safe wood:

thank you everyone for the lists. I think I am going to get a bunch of the finger traps for now so I have something to use.
