Kaytee Lava Ledge Small Animal Toy, 5.8-in

We have two chinchillas. We used these ledges for a few years and had no real problems with them. Then almost two years ago now all the local shops seemed to get rid of them. I recently got a new cage. I bought it off of here, and seen these as an add on. I got excited and got two of them. My chins loved them in the past. My one chin would sit on hers for hours! They are also really nice for their teeth. Well... I put the new one in and within a week it came loose. We tightened it, it seemed ok then the next day we realized the ledge was actually spinning on the post. We have left it in the cage, but literally just for something to be chewed on. I wouldn't recommend them anymore. Unless you want We have two chinchillas. We used these ledges for a few years and had no real problems with them.

I ordered 3 of these for our bunnies. When they came in I was worried about giving them to the bunnies (I normally always check but trusted Kaytee). I called my vet and was told do not give them to the bunnies. These are best for Chinchillas. Now I have 3 Lave Ledges and no Chinchillas. I would only recommend this to someone with a Chinchilla.

I use these for my chinchilla to keep his teeth down. Work well for chewing and bouncing off of. I found it here on chewy for under $5.(probably on sale) but still cheaper than I could ever find at a store. Plus they have them. I've noticed a lot of big name easy to find pet stores do not carry this item. Little mom and pop stores want $13+ for one. Colors are random. I did get a blue one which I was super excited for. Haven't seen one until now.

Have some Kaytee Lava Ledges which were purchased in 2017, and our previous ratties (RIP) made great use of the them. Wanted a few more to round out the new rattos' cage. Upon receipt and out of package, these things give off a stench of mothballs/ fresh tar. Tried rinsing off to no avail. Slightly different shape than the old ones, so figuring Kaytee changed vendors to save a buck. I'd rather spend double to ensure I'm not putting something in the cage that could threaten a rat's susceptible respiratory system.

I wanted to like these ledges so bad. I bought 3 of these for their CN cage. The rats enjoyed jumping on them. Starting around the first week, they started to become loose. The edges started to fall apart. At first I thought the rats were chewing on them, but it is not the rats, especially when the platform became so loose they could barely stand on them anymore. Today, one of them completely fell off and landed in their water bowl. I contacted Chewy and they agreed that I could return them for a refund after they are shipped back to them. There are not a lot of affordable small animal ledges in the market, so I am disappointed this one did not work out.

Came in one piece and seems good enough quality. My rats are enjoying it as an extra little step to climb around on. Probably will order more! Also secures to the cage easily

I got the lava ledge with the intention of letting my rats file their own nails, but they also chew on it as well. My girl has been all over this thing like her life depends on it. Definitely a great product, especially for the price.

I bought this for my rats cage and when I removed it from the packaging, it had a strong odor of paint. The pink color rubbed off onto my hands. I soaked it in water and Thieves cleaner for two days and tried to scrub some of the pink off. The smell did die down a bit but was still noticeable, and my white rat was tinted pink for a little. Luckily I was able to wipe it off of her with a baby wipe. I removed it from the cage and won’t be buying another.

I was not expecting such a strong odor of chemicals, but it is overwhelming. I’ve washed it multiple times but it hasn’t gotten rid of it. I don’t recommend, if it’s too smelly for me I’m not exposing my little buddy to it.

When I first bought these for my chinchilla they worked great and stayed together but in the past 2 months I have bought 7 of these and they all break. The metal doesn't stay in place so they don't work as ledges. Do not buy.
