Yes, pine wood hay feeders are fine.

Pine is kiln dried, so a safe wood type. Size is large enough where the chin won't get stuck in the hole...my only concern is that they don't use glues...so it DOES look to be held together with nails. If and WHEN your chin decides it's a new chew toy, those nails could be an issue. OH! The rabbit on top? It's quoted to be hardwood...most (if not all) hardwoods are NOT chin safe. Some things to think about

In my opinion, this looks safe. I know people tend to be unsure about nail/screw construction methods. As long as you know where the nails are, it's not gonna be a problem unless your chin is able to chew all the way down to them - and then on top of that, attempt to chew through them. I've personally never had any problems with screws, nails, and chins thinking metals are wood. I give them more credit than that.

And if you have a sander, you could sand down the ornament so they can't get a handle on the hardwood top. If not, you can probably return it. Vendor has decent reviews.
