Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure a healthy environment for your pet and prolong the life of the cage.
- Daily Cleaning: Remove soiled bedding and uneaten fresh food daily.
- Weekly Deep Cleaning: Once a week, remove your pet to a secure temporary enclosure. Empty all bedding and accessories. Wipe down all surfaces of the cage, including the acrylic window and mesh, with a pet-safe cleaner or mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before returning your pet and fresh bedding.
- Storage Cabinet: Keep the storage cabinet clean and organized. Wipe down shelves as needed to prevent dust or debris buildup.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Inspect the mesh and acrylic for any signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your PAKASEPT Hamster Cage, refer to the following common solutions:
- Cage Instability: If the cage feels wobbly, re-check all assembly screws and ensure they are tightened. Verify that the cage is placed on a flat, stable surface.
- Difficulty Opening/Closing Top: Ensure no debris is obstructing the hinges. Apply a small amount of food-grade lubricant if necessary, though this should not be common.
- Odor Buildup: Despite the ventilated design, odors can accumulate with insufficient cleaning. Increase the frequency of bedding changes and deep cleaning. Ensure proper ventilation in the room where the cage is located.
- Missing Parts: If any parts were missing upon delivery, please contact customer support immediately.
