Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure a hygienic and safe environment for your pet and to prolong the life of the cage.

The cage is constructed with engineered wood and thick acrylic panels designed to be chew-resistant. While this design significantly reduces the likelihood of chewing damage, individual pet behavior can vary. It is recommended to:

• Provide your pet with appropriate chew toys to redirect natural chewing instincts.
• Regularly inspect the cage for any signs of chewing, particularly around edges and corners.
• If persistent chewing occurs, consider applying pet-safe chew deterrents or adding protective barriers to affected areas.

This section addresses common concerns you might encounter with your COZIWOW Hamster Cage.

Common Issues:

• Difficulty during assembly: Refer to the detailed instructions provided with the product. Ensure all protective films are removed from acrylic panels and that components are aligned correctly before applying pressure.
