Coconut shell

[Jcavy]

I've got part of a coconut shell that I had for a hampster that died and I had made it into a house for her (she Just loved to chew it) . And I want to know if it's alright to sterilize in the oven and give to my gp to chew on.
Oh and another thing, I'm pigsitting a baby till christmas and then after the baby pig will visit my pig and I think there is some jealousy going on because of the new pig. During floor time I thought they were getting along fine, but then my older pig nipped the baby on the ear!!!:| How should I re-inroduce them and make sure there is no biting?

thanx, Jcavy[center]
