Is it safe for my conure to chew rawhide? What types are okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Conure | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 1lb

Can my Conure have rawhides? For example could my conure have a dog rawhide or if I got a rawhide from a butcher shop would that be okay for her? I know I have seen raw hides on bird toys but wonder if they can have it what type of rawhide can they have?

Rawhide has been and is used in some toys. Most birds (mine included) ignore it. It can be chewed, but monitor to make sure Maxcine doesn't ingest large bits. I wouldn't recommend rawhide from the local butcher.
