Apple tree/bamboo species?

[cherrysparkey]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if all apple tree wood is okay for degus to chew. My bfs mum has a big cooking apple tree in her garden that I was hoping to steal some of (lots of )

Also I saw somewhere that bamboo was okay for them, is any species okay? I have no idea what my one is.

As I write this Mo Mo has just pulled a large chunk of leather off the sofa, definitely time to get some more things for them to chew on...

Sorry, I just realised I might have this in the wrong place, not sure how to move it?

All apple tree wood is OK. Do you mean bamboo canes? They are also all OK, and because they are so hard, they really give their teeth something to work on

Thanks! I wonder how much tree I can cut down... lol And yeah, the bamboo looks like the ones you can use for holding up plants. Hope they like them (well at least more than leather)
