Safety before novelty
Toys, perches, feeders and nest items should suit the species and be free of sharp parts, loose fibres, unsafe metals and swallowing hazards.
Inspect regularly
Even a suitable product can become dangerous after chewing or wear. Rotate enrichment and remove damaged accessories promptly.
Practical buyer checklist
- Confirm dimensions and material.
- Check for small detachable parts or trapping loops.
- Ask whether a used item can be disinfected safely.
Safety: Inspect before payment, keep written records and never share passwords or OTP codes.
