Are Guinea Pig Allergic to any wood

[Cherry Berry]

Hello everyone,

I am planning to adopt a pair of guinea pigs soon. I have done my research and I would like to get a shed constructed in my garden.
I would like to know if there is any safe material I would need to consider?

Thank you for your help in advance

If the piggies are going to be exposed to it and possibly chew on it then I would go with kiln dried pine. I don't think it's allergies but some woods would be toxic to them if ingested

Not an allergy but try avoid apple and pear wood if you don't want them munching on it

If there is a chance they could chew on the wood, you will want to avoid pressure-treated or other chemically treated woods, which can be unsafe if ingested. If they're not able to get to it, just having any wood in the vicinity should be fine.

Okay, thanks for the help
