Ok so my husband went on a nature walk today now that the snow has melted(for now). and i came across several trees that the bark had been chipped off(not on the bottom more towards the middle and top) by some creature lol it looks really freshly done and all the pieces are pretty small ? i tried to pull of a piece myself to make sure it wasnt just rotton or diseased and i could not pull off any. my question is can i wash n then bake this stuff to make it safe for my Leopard ? i think it would add nice texture for him? if you have any reason that this is a bad idea PLEASE tell me thats y i took pics lol to ask all you very tort smart pple.. also i dont know the type of tree? so i dnt know if it will mess with Sonne at all? so please pple let me know what YOU think.
