Java Branches as enrichment?

[gordon&blair]

Hi, at my local garden centre on the weekend I saw some perches that attach to the side of an avery for birds, they are java branches. Are these branches poisonous to Piggies? I was thinking of getting the smallest one and putting it in their new hutch which is 6ft x2ft. Or are there any brances off certain trees you could rec for me to put in. The Java perch is like this...

Branches from fruit trees are fine, they will nibble at the bark. Apple is good, so is pear, but try to make sure they have had no chemicals on. Bare branches aren't as much fun for them!

thats great news! My parents have an apple tree which I can take a few branches off, though they don't know this and getting them on the bus might be tricky, but I'm sure worth it for the boys!8)
