Another building question

I just got through staining the wood I am going to use for the enclosures I am making, and today will coat with urethane. How long must the wood 'cure' so that it is safe so that any fumes from the stain or urethane will not hurt the critters?
Also, how many of y'all have wood enclosures made of pine? I have seen plans using plywood, but have found a mention or two while surfing the net of people who say that pine is unsafe because of volatile oils in the wood itself that will dissipate even through the urethane coating and affect the health of the critters. Is this a valid concern? Should I line the wood with melamine veneer?
Also I looked in quite a few places and the only track I could find fort my 3/8 inch acrylic was aluminum; is the aluminum ok to use?
