"My mice really enjoy this! They climb all over it. For those using it in an aquarium tank, here's a tip: I hung mine by attaching a sticker hook on the outside of the tank and tying the rope to it."

— Gerbilmom

"The gerbils ate through the ladder portion in a day."

Bottom Line

If you have a small animal that doesn't chew, this is a great, fun accessory. However, monitor the hut for signs of wear and consider removing the string if your pet is a chewer.
