Tree Sap Resin Coming From Inside my Guinea Pigs' Newly Built Wooden Cage?

[MoraFlint]

Hello,

Me and my fiance recently built a homemade wooden cage for our little spuds but since the cage is made out of raw wood, it would seem to be leaking resin in one specific spot in the cage. This is a concern because I had found multiple locks of fur in the resin recently after cleaning the cage, which means the resin is probably harming my poor pigs by pulling their furs out. Is there any way, perhaps a pet friendly spray of some sort, to get rid of/ stop the sap from sweating into the cage?

Thanks again!

Rub a small amount of flour over the resin.
This will stop it being sticky and help to dry it out.

Well done both for making that lovely cage, I hope you got the sap problem sorted as i bet your Guinea pigs love it in there
