Re: Is Dry Eucalyptus Wood Safe?
Thanks for the advice. I might try keeping the branches in an environment similar to his cage for a while just to see how they will fair.

Anyway, whatever Country your in, look at Craigslist or swap meets. You'll find some different neat woods. See if any private or hobby mills or an arborist are near you. Mills have left overs an Arborist can find you something if you ask.
Good luck!
Eucalyptus trees are also grown in the U.S. (places like California, & I'm pretty sure in Florida too) as non-native ornamentals too, y'know...
But that's a good idea about contacting an arborist (or in my area, a tree-trimming business!), etc.

Oh that's a good idea! I will start looking around.
