• Deep Cleaning: Periodically disinfect the cage using pet-safe disinfectants, following the product instructions.

7. Troubleshooting

Issue: Cage feels unstable or wobbly.

Solution: Ensure all plastic clips securing the wire frames to the bases are properly engaged. Check that the cage is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. The design allows for easy disassembly for cleaning, so ensure all connections are firm after reassembly.

Issue: Pet struggles to use the plastic ladder.

Solution: The plastic ladder can be slippery for some small animals. Consider adding a non-slip material, such as a piece of carpet, sandpaper (secured safely), or fabric, to the ladder surface to provide better traction. Ensure any added material is safe for your pet and securely attached.

Issue: Plastic parts appear warped or damaged.

Solution: While the cage is designed for durability, heavy impacts during transport or prolonged uneven weight distribution can cause warping. If parts are significantly damaged, contact Ferplast customer support for replacement options. Avoid placing excessive weight on the upper level.
