Troubleshooting
Cage parts do not fit together correctly
Double-check the assembly instructions and ensure all parts are oriented in the correct direction. Verify that no components are bent or damaged during shipping.
Water bottle leaks or doesn't dispense water
Ensure the water bottle nozzle is clean and free of debris. Check that the bottle is properly sealed and attached to the cage. Test the flow by gently tapping the ball bearing.

Clean the wheel mechanism to remove any bedding or debris that might be hindering its movement. Ensure it is properly attached and not rubbing against other parts of the cage.
