yes those are fine, but probably best to take the bundle apart so you have a bunch of sticks rather then letting the chin chew through the whole thing, it'll last longer that way.

Yes, I planned to do that already.

Are things such as the garlands and the hanging toys all safe? They look like they are hooked to a wire.

 

[Amethyst]

can you send links to things that aren't safe? I thought they all were from her shop.

I would really rather not have to go through all the items.... there is a lot, lol. Basically though from what I see, anything with the coconut husk (the fiber) are not safe, anything paper is not safe, I would just avoid glued on things, you never now how much glue was used and even non toxic glue can cause a blockage if enough is eaten. I'm thinking some of the things like the coconut people have been using and had no issue, but there have been rare times that chins have died.

Ok thank you!

They have such a variety for different times of the year! I'm exited! Getting a Easter one first!

This for example is not safe... the shell itself is safe, but the fiber is tough and can tangle in the gut (think like a cat or dog swallowing string) 50pcs. Natural Coconut Shell Pieces for Chinchillas & Parrots | Etsy

I bought a bunch of these Lot of 20 Natural Vine Ball Chews Chinchillas Rabbits | Etsy one year and dyed them myself with food coloring as "Easter eggs" and put tiny bits of hay and treats inside them. Then hid them around the cage for the chins to find on Easter. Silly I know but fun.

Hm, well your chin wont be getting here until after easter, so you might want to go with a more general "spring time" coloring for now, so the last two... but thinking it's for a kit, and kits are crazy it might be safer to go with the last one. Kits don't think and I would be afraid it might decide to jump through the wreath and get caught up.

Well this year he would be too young for treats anyway

Oooh! Ok! I didn't think about that won't be doing that then!

Bells are not safe, I've never had a problem but some chin have decided to chew the bell clapper and get the bell caught in their teeth. Chins are seriously like toddlers, lol. Otherwise those are fine. It is a lot cheaper though if you just buy some refillable metal toy skewers and then buy toys parts in bulk so you can make your own toys.
