Troubleshooting
Cage wobbles after assembly
Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Check that all panels are correctly aligned before tightening.
Pet chewing on the wood
Provide appropriate chew toys within the cage. If chewing is excessive, consider supervising your pet more closely or reinforcing areas with pet-safe materials.
Ramps are too steep
