Review on 🦜 Kaytee Lava Ledge: The Ultimate Chew Toy and Perch for Small Pets by Elizabeth Pushkina

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Probably not suitable for adult chinchillas

I have bought more of these lava strips and they are good for chewing to wear teeth. My male chinchilla doesn't really like to chew, so this takes a while, but a younger female will destroy them in just a week or two. The main issue I see with them is the obvious workmanship of how the tabs attach to the screw and mounting assembly. The ledges snap off the screw that is placed and glued into the lava ledges so a ledge is not entirely safe for adult chinchillas as if the attachment fails the chinchilla may fall off these ledges if it becomes unstable or literally turns . . If a chinchilla falls from a height, it can cause injury. It's not worth it. It is good as a chewing cube. - Posted mid 2018 - Not sure if it's for adult chinchillas but this item only lasted 3 days in a cage with my 2 year old chinchilla (don't know exact age or much about him as he rescued by a local animal). Protection). On several occasions my chinchilla was seen being laid on her and she was a little tense due to her weight. Anyway, I don't know how, but one day I woke up and saw that it had completely detached from the metal screw it was attached to. It's either too strong or too thick, or it's just not meant for adult chinchillas.
