How to use

Place the shelving platform at the desired height inside the enclosure, ensuring it is securely attached or rested against cage walls or supports so it does not wobble. Position it to create easy access points such as near ramps, ladders, or openings so hamsters and mice can climb on and off safely. Check the stability after installation and monitor the animals during initial use to confirm they can access the platform comfortably. Clean the surface as needed according to enclosure hygiene routines.

Usage recommendations

Install the platform at a height appropriate for your pet’s age and mobility; for younger or less agile animals keep it lower to reduce fall risk. Provide easy access with ramps or soft bedding below the platform to cushion any accidental slips. Regularly inspect the mounting points and platform surface for wear and clean with a pet-safe cleaner to maintain hygiene.
