should be all good. if you can it would be best to use timber that has already had a good time to dry out. otherwise you'll find that it will warp a good bit once built. especially with extra heat from mats. As for mdf. as it is a very dusty material you would just need to make sure that it has had a good brush of and a lick of varnish perhaps or other sealant and I know it goes with out staying but not cut or sanded any where near you animals.

Thanks Spor

I would build it outside so the dust would not be a problem. Think I would varnish it all as well so the any moisture would not be an issue. Cheers for the input.
