I use only pressure treated on my Redfoot enclosures. I've never had any ussues. Never seen any animal nibble on the wood.
Even decades back when THE PT lumber still cotained arsenic. Never an issue.

I also used pressure-treated lumber for my outdoor enclosure. No issues.

If by any chance you have a weirdo that wants to eat the wood. I would reconsider.
I've never seen it.

For this application, I think PT wood will work great.
Also, just be aware that chicken wire will stop a hawk, but it won't stop a dog, if you have one. I prefer to use welded wire for this purpose. 1x2" is pretty stout.
