  So it has been confirmed that I will be making a hay rack, and I was wondering what types of wood would be safe if Toby was to chew on it. Would plywood work, or does the glue make it unsafe?

  I don’t know about plywood, I’d worry about the glue. But most wood is fine to make bunny stuff from. Pine, spruce, maple, linden, birch are easy to work with, beech and aspen are bunny safe but hard and tough. I’d probably go for pine because it’s affordable and reasonably “soft”, you can work it with hand tools.

  I have read in many resources to make sure that softer woods such as pine should be kiln dried in order to be bunny safe. The oils in the wood naturally can be toxic and kiln drying removes this issue. I made my BunBun’s hide box and second slot on her crate out of kiln dried pine. I do not have any power tools and it was quick, easy, sturdy and safe. Bunny approved!
