As long as it's safe wood like kiln dried pine then either wood or plastic is fine, it's quite easy to make your own shelves with a piece of wood & some dowels cut to length for legs.

Some people make shelves for tanks out of Ikea knuff magazine racks You don't have to, but you can also make a fence round the edge with little wood dowels. The holes in the end need blocking off (eg glue a couple of wood dowels over) or they can get stuck.
I don't know really. I think most plastic is fine - if it gets chewed you need to check for sharp edges. The Germans won't use anything plastic! Only natural things and wood. I don't know anyone who has had a problem using plastic items unless they get chewed badly and sharp edges.
