Thornless blackberry twigs as chew sticks?

[NezumiTyler]

Hello fellow rat lovers,

I have a question regarding natural chew sticks for rats. I purchased apple twigs online a while ago, but I realized I have a thornless blackberry bush that dies off and dries out every winter.

I know rats can eat blackberries - do you think thornless blackberry twigs/branches are safe?

The bush hasnt been treated with petiscides (on or around).

Thank you in advance

I did a quick google search and I can't find anything about it being toxic to animals. So I'm guessing it should be safe. Be careful you are not bringing in any bugs to them though.
