I wouldn't let them have it.
I found a great site for checking types of wood for my degus: -
http://www.btinternet.com/~p.long/degutopia/degutoxic.htm
"Safe woods include eating apple, hazel, hawthorn and kiln dried pine. These woods must be cleaned and dried before your degu can chew them. Don't give your degu any other types of wood as almost all are toxic to degus."

No!, toss them away. pine branches can cause all sorts of problems for rodents. especially the sap. give regular cured chew sticks for best results.
