| Re: Animal Proofing a Rabbit Cage We don't condone any full time outdoor housing for pets on this forum. Mesh flooring in not good for any animal. In rabbits it can cause sore hocks, break or amputate toes and cause other problems.
Any sort of wood is unacceptable for an animal cage. If it gets wet from urine or even water it can harbor bacteria and mold. Some woods are treated to prevent rot, termites and other pests. If eaten it is poisonous to your pet. Both cedar and pine are full of phenols which are harmful to animals' lungs. |
