Yep, but you gotta wrap them real tight, or they will torch up.

My guinea pigs seemed to succomb to all sorts of exposures (don't feed rodents cruciferous vegetables for one). They never seemed to have a problem with the cedar though.

Could be the squeakers just never got enough of a dose. Who knows?

That's in line with what I was thinking ... thanks for the info.

Good point ... I will definitely look for "natural" Cedar that has not been treated.
