Yes, there is nothing in apple branches that is harmful to either animal, the only thing I think you can't give them with apple is the seeds from the fruit.
Are you treating the wood first by washing it in boiling water or heating it in an oven? It is a good way to kill of bad bacteria or whatever else may be on the wood so it's extra safe, I do it whenever I give hawthorn or apple branches to my rats and the degus.

I hope this is helpful

Re: Branches

I think any fruit tree branches are ok as long as you are 100% sure they havent been sprayed with any chemicals.
