No pine, or spruce, i'm pretty sure Yew is also not a good idea to use and lots of hedge type thing's are bad too.... not that you'd want to put hedge in a viv I'm sure but sometimes there's tempting bits...

Yeah, I tend to find avoiding them altogether as the easiest option as I don't know how many times I've screamed my head off at people coming into rep centre with sick/dead animals... or just to ask us about things.... checked their set-ups... they are letting animals drink water off sprayed pine/spruce etc.... :bash:

Hedge is bad :lol2:

Pine and spruce are, contrary to popular belief, ok to use, just so long as they are totally cured. This is because it is the sap that causes problems, not the actual wood itself. As the post above mentions, hedge type pood should be avoided, particularly those such as laurel, which are toxic.
