Spruce twigs

[Jinxxy]

i have plenty of spruce twigs and branches in my yard, and I wanted to see if they would be safe to give to my gerbils.

I looked in the safe and unsafe list, but spruce didn't seem to be included. Either that or i missed it.

Hmm? I don't think anything evergreen is safe? I know that cedar isn't and pine bedding that hasn't been kiln dried isn't safe. Yew defo isn't safe, and not sure about the rest.

I just steer clear of the whole lot anyway as I have ample supply of the many woods that ARE safe.

Hopefully someone else will know, otherwise hold off giving it until you know for sure.

I also believe all evergreens are dangerous. This website says spruce is unsafe www.egerbil.com/safe_woods_for_gerbils
