Troubleshooting
Cage is wobbly or unstable
Ensure all ABS connectors are fully snapped onto the wire panels. Use all 40 included cable ties to reinforce the connections between panels and connectors. Double-check that the cage is on a flat, stable surface.
Connectors are difficult to attach
Align the wire panel edges carefully with the grooves in the ABS connectors. Apply firm, even pressure. If resistance is met, ensure no wires are bent out of shape.
Pet is trying to climb or chew through the bars
This cage is designed for supervised use or for pets that do not exhibit strong chewing or climbing behaviors. For persistent chewers, consider reinforcing the base or sides with chew-proof materials or a different enclosure type. Ensure the cage is appropriately sized for your pet.
Panels do not fit together as expected
Verify that you are using the correct connectors and that the panels are oriented correctly. Ensure no wire mesh is bent, as this can affect the fit. Refer to the assembly diagram if provided.
