I bought some "Twig Wood Chews" for my boys but I noticed that they are made of pine. Are Pine chews okay for them?

If they don't have a strong smell, they should be fine. My piggies totally ignore any kind of wood chews though!

No, pine chews are NOT ok for them. Twigs from untreated fruit trees and willow are ok. Any kind of conifer (pine, cedar, etc.) is not.

They don't need chews. The grinding action of the molars keeps their front teeth ground down.
