By being hardwoods they do not have any of the oils from cedar or pine that could cause problems. Pine and other evergreen woods are not very good for burning in wood stoves because the oils generate creosote problems, manufacturers wouldn't add the problems of evergreen woods to a product intended for burning. That effectively makes them safer for ferrets. bill and diane killian zen and the art of ferrets http://www.zenferret.com/ mailto:[log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2367]
