[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 190220, member: 29323"] There is a reason that pine is used in disinfectant. It is a natural insecticide among other things. If you google pine, phenol plus Rabbits or Guinea Pigs etc then you will find this wood is known to be more than capable of killing / harming creatures much bigger than a T. But the pet shop trade still sells it, both in poor quality wood shavings for animal bedding & via decorations made from it. It is down to phenols, the smell of the wood. & it causes Cancer in Rabbits, Guinea pigs etc & it damages their livers.
