"I purchased this for my Froggy-Man and was delighted when it came in. I went to put it in his home and cut my finger on one of the 3 openings that he would need to climb in and out of. Upon closer inspection, all 3 openings have dangerously rough edges. I am contacting Chewy immediately to return it..."
