Bamboo leaves?

[Yuudoku.Niji]

I have a live bamboo plant and I've read that the actual bamboo can cause splinters... but what about the leaves?

What do you want to do with the leaves? You want to use it as food?

Not as food, but maybe like a snack or whatnot?

Bamboo is a safe wood for chinchilla according to the Internet but I'm not an expert. Might want some other more expert advice from people on the forum.

Bamboo is actually a type of grass, so I'm pretty sure the leaves are safe, assuming you know for a fact that the bamboo has never had any form of pesticide of chemicals used on it ever. I know for a fact the leaves are safe for humans (used in tea and other food), and safe for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, and birds.

Well I got it from the plant section of a grocery store. Soo... I'm not quite sure..

I would not feed it to your chin if it came from a grocery store. They are subject to all kinds of chemicals which are not safe for your chin. I didn't see it on either the safe or bad list, but if it is indeed safe, I would only give 100% organic bamboo.
