Horse Chestnut Treee Twigs, Leaves, And Nuts?

[Ruby Inferno]

There is a horse chestnut tree just outisde my garden over the fence, hanging over some of the lawn. In the warm weather during the day, I often put my guinea pigs on the lawn in an enclosed safe pen below this tree where the tree's leaves, nuts, and twigs have often fallen.

I am 100% certain it is a HORSE chestnut tree, I have looked up the difference between sweet and horse. I just need to know if it is safe for my piggies to be able to nibble on the wood, the leaves, and the nuts? I usually clean up the exercise pen's area so it does not have these leaves just to be safe, but I thought I'd ask in case there is no need to clear it up.

Thanks

My piggies used to eat oak leafs in my garden, no ill effects, not sure of other trees, apple and willow wood is ok.

I'm not sure but i would assume that you should carry on clearing up, I've always been told Horse chestnuts don't do humans any good if eaten. so i wouldn't like to risk it with piggies

Cant think who has free-rangers on here, someone else must have horse chestnut trees in their garden that will know- hopefully even if its just a case of they dont do them any harm, but they aren't interested would be nice to know.

Conkers (horse chestnuts) are toxic and I think other parts of the tree are considered potentially toxic.

Okay thank you, I will continue to clear up. It's more hassle to clean up, but why risk my piggies' health?
