Troubleshooting

Holder feels loose after mounting

Ensure you are using appropriate screws or bolts for the mounting surface and that they are tightened securely. Check that the mounting surface itself is stable.

Salt lick does not fit snugly

Confirm you are using a standard brick-type salt lick. If the lick is slightly smaller, consider placing a thin piece of non-toxic material behind it to create a tighter fit, or use a more robust holder designed for variable sizes.

Plastic coating shows signs of wear

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, this should suffice. If significant damage occurs, consider replacing the holder to prevent potential hazards.
