Chinchilla Toys From Etsy?

[lizcschwab]

Hi,
Has anyone every heard of or purchased chinchilla toys from this etsy shop? https://www.etsy.com/shop/MagicalChinchilla
Most of the things seem chin appropriate, however in a couple of the descriptions it mentions birch wood as part of the toy, which I though was bad for chinchillas.
Thanks!

I haven't bought anything from that site, but birch is one of the types of wood that is debated. Depending on the list you look at it's either safe or not safe. The issue is some birch is safe, like white, grey, silver and common birch, other birch, like black birch for example, is not safe. I'd e-mail the person, or simply avoid the toys if you have doubts on the safety.

I got a mystery box from her. If you message her before you order you can ask her to exclude certain things. I asked for no bamboo because Dessy won't touch it, and she sent a couple pine hanging toys. Both have since been annihilated.

Her stuff isn't incredible, but it's usable as long as you talk to her first.
