You will need to have something to nestle the bottom of the legs into, or hold on to it, or thing of another solution. This ladder is not weighted well and my adolescent cockatiel wants to stand on a top-side. I think her feet feel more comfortable on the sides than the middle. I have been trying to intigrate this ladder into playtime with my cockatiel for three months. She is young, so i will continue to set it out from time to time to see if we can somehow play with it or at least chew on it. She only weighs 80 grams right now and I feel like the ladder should be able to stand and not fall on its side with that amount of weight!

This ladder is one of our gerbil's favorite chew toys. And the best part is that it only needs replacing once every 3 weeks or so when it has finally been destroyed! :)

My mice love it! They use it to climb in their little swing and they love chewing on the steps lol.

Fir wood is soft wood, and soft wood is bad for rodents. Get safer hard wood items.

My dwarf hamster loves this, it’s about 3x her size, just for a reference. It adds more fun for her inside her home!

It looks nice nice in my piggies cage . I would recommend

He goes under it, over it and sometimes tips it over, it's a nice addition to the hamster's cage and rinse and dries out during my Saturday cleaning.

It is perfect! My hammies love climbing it and they overall love it! it is also a good chew toy and fun for them!
