It's now conker season here and I was wondering, are conkers safe to give my little man to gnaw on? Thanks in advance, Gem

I wish they were though as they are out in abundance around here!

Here's our safe wood list, most other native british deciduous trees are safe, so I'm sure you can find something else: deguworld.proboards.com/thread/15616/safe-tree-woods-bark-list?page=1 Welcome to the forum

I didn't think they would be since the tree wood isn't safe but thought I'd just check. I'll give some to my boy cat to chase around instead hehe. Thanks again! Gem
