7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your PawHut Bird Play Stand, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stand feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose connections; uneven surface. | Check and tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the stand is on a flat, level surface. |
| Wheels do not roll smoothly. | Debris in wheels; wheels not properly installed. | Clean any debris from the wheel casters. Verify wheels are securely attached and can swivel freely. |
| Bird is not using the perches. | New environment; perches are too high/low for the bird. | Allow time for your bird to adjust. Ensure the perches are at a comfortable height and diameter for your specific bird species. Offer treats on the perches to encourage use. |
| Food/water bowls fall out. | Bowls not seated correctly. | Ensure bowls are fully inserted and seated firmly in their holders. |
