Wooden Shelving?
I've been meaning to check for a while, I know pine wood shavings aren't suitable for hamsters, but is it the same with wooden shelving?
Would kiln dried pine be suitable for use as shelving in a hamster cage?

Re: Wooden Shelving?
Any wooden shelving I would paint with a waterproof paint that is child safe. Plastikote enamel takes 30 mins to dry, and this protects against hamsters peeing on them. I think Plastikote has changed name to Valspar or something but it is the same paint. PVA glue would work just as well as a selant
