"We bought this for a young opossum we are rehabilitating. We didn’t use the ledges. The habitat is strong and attractive. The clear plexiglass windows allow us to see him without the risk of having him get caught in any wire mess etc. He has plenty of room to move about."
"It's not safe! My hamster already has a splinter because the woods is plywood. It's not safe... Idk what to do???"
Bottom Line
Do not consider this if you care about the safety and health of your pets. The design and colors are top class but safety and durability play a significant role when it comes to choosing for our loved pets.
