5. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of your Ferplast Casita 100 cage and a healthy environment for your pet.

• Regular Cleaning: The fully opening roof makes cleaning very easy. For general cleaning, use only water and mild soap with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the cage's finish.
• Environmental Conditions: Do not expose this product directly to strong sunlight, rain, sea air, or excessive heat. These conditions can degrade the materials over time.
• Structural Integrity: Do not stack objects on top of the cage or apply excessive force to its structure. Avoid impacts that may damage the product.
• Water Bottle Care: Regularly check the water bottle for leaks and ensure it is clean and filled with fresh water.
• Hay Rack and Food Bowl: Clean the hay rack and food bowl daily to prevent bacterial growth and ensure fresh food and hay are always available.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common concerns and provides solutions for your Ferplast Casita 100 cage.

• Cage feels unstable after assembly:

  Solution: Recheck all connection points between the wire mesh and the plastic base. Ensure all clips or latches are fully engaged and secured. The cage should be placed on a flat, level surface.

• Water bottle is leaking:

  Solution: Ensure the water bottle is filled completely to create a vacuum seal. Check the rubber stopper and nozzle for any damage or blockages. Re-attach the bottle firmly to the cage, ensuring it is upright and not tilted.

• Sliding door is stiff or difficult to open/close:

  Solution: Inspect the door's runners for any debris or obstructions. Clean the tracks with a damp cloth. A small amount of food-grade lubricant (if safe for pets) can be applied to the runners, but ensure it does not come into contact with your pet.
