I was wondering as I was cleaning my yard of palm tree branches, if they would be ok to prepare and give the chins? I remember palm leaf shredders or something being ok, and coconut shells are ok, so is palm tree wood ok?
 
I am no expert, but I seem to remember when I was a guinea pig owner I read that you have to be careful that the tree and the yard around it have not been treated with any chemicals..weed or bug killers. I am not sure of any other advice.
 
Good question.. that is something I would like to know as well.
 
Well I've seen palm wood sold for birds. Doesn't mean it's ok for chins and I don't know if it was a certain kind but thought I'd mention it. You do want to be very careful about stuff sprayed though, and unless you have acreage, I wouldn't use anything in your yard as you have no idea what neighbors use as far as fertilizers and pesticides, they drift.
