Hi! Just bought a bendable bridge from pets at home and i just became aware of what if their nails get caught in the gaps if they try and climb over it?I’m mostly concerned as i have a 5 month old gp and she loves to climb on things and she has the tiniest and sharpest nails.
Is there anything i could do to prevent this? Or should i avoid putting it in the cage at all?
 
I use these all the time and have done for years. One is mine is a climber and loves nothing more than sitting on top of them, but I’ve never had anybody get caught in it, but it’s a possibility if the one you have does have those big gaps between the logs (most of mine are considerably closer together/entirely touching). I actually have a small fleece blanket over the top of each of mine to help keep in warmth, so perhaps that’s something you could do.
 
You should be fine the gaps are quiet big that bendy bridge is very small I’d be surprised if she will climb on it to be honest!

That’s a great idea! Might steal that idea off you😂
 
I use them all the time, never had a problem and my boys have never climbed on them even though they do like to climb.
 
I had a piggie catch and wrench his foot in one, him and his cage mate were always climbing on them. Bracken limped for a few days after a vet visit for Metacam. I stopped using them and started buying the ones from The Range which have smooth pieces of wood close together.

He was gorgeous🥺, sorry for your loss. I might invest into those rainbow bridges, would give me more peace of mind :)
