Skiploder pretty much nailed it. And I would like to point out that balls are not domesticated. Tame yes, domestic, no. But I do agree that as owners, we should provide ideal, less risky conditions. That said, I don't think wood substrate adds to that risk. Of course there are exceptions, but in general, I don't think it's bad.
