I was just wondering if the dried eucalyptus branches from the craft stores is safe for gliders? They seem to smell really strong so I wan't sure if they used perfumes on them? Thanks

I bought some fresh eucalyptus branches from a farmer's market and they are really fragrant fresh as well. She loved it. I put it in her cage and she would chew on the stem for the sap and climb on it.

I'm not sure about stuff at the craft store, but it you add a few leaves to the bottom of the cage, it makes it smell really fresh between cleanings. I love it!

According to my list, eucalyptus is not shown as toxic to animals.
Hope this helps.

I have heard that some types of euctliptus can be bad but I do not know which ones. I have never had a problem with it for toys and branches.
