I have this toy in my cockatiels cage, he chews on the rope and on the metal parts, is this ok? I am not sure if this toy is safe!

The metal fasteners are not safe for birds because they contain zinc. Please buy stainless snap hook carabiners. Amazon and hardware stores carry them.

My two conures destroyed their ladder toy. And that's exactly what it's designed to do. As I'm learning, birds need to forage and use their beaks as they would do in the wild. This is one of the first toys my birds had in their cage and I need to get another one soon...Don't worry about the metal clips, your bird will not be able to get through with its beak. Enjoy your bird!!

I hung a couple of my bird's most favorite toys on the playstand & filled the cup with his favorite treats. He flew off a couple of times, but each time I put him back and handed him one of his favorite treats. Now I have to give him treats to come off his playstand!

I think it is, I my opion they save money on the gauge of the wire and the thickness of the cage posts. I have pacific parrotlets in mine, but they aren't really chewing on the cage. I've had cheap cages and they do start chewing on the coatings when they start to peal off, but after about a year there hasn't been any change in the cage material. It nice to be able to separate two birds, especially since one of the females is in heat right now.

I imangine it isn't a good thing to chew on but the only danger would be if your pet swallowed a big enough piece to get it lodged other wise it's not digestible so it shall pass. My pets have never chewed on it.

My son chews on everything and he likes the little patch of hair on the dolls head. I think it could be chewed off, so that is a potential choking hazard.

Some risk of chewing. We had a hamster get out due to a chewed hole. But less than other cages on the market today.

I have a dwarf hamster and he is fine in it , the only thing he did was start chewing on a plastic piece at the top, I just put a small tube in the spot so he couldn't get up there anymore and he's fine. But there has never been a problem with the bars

I have two of these cages and they work well. Under the highest visible item in the photo there is a cage top. In other words the play top can come on and off. I have a very active green conure and it works well for him because we change toys frequently to maintain his interest level. Hope this is a help.

Our Boxer had the rope part of the toy chewed off in about 1 minute. He does play with the toy without the rope and it keeps him busy which is why we bought it. The jug is hard plastic with a screw off bottom. The round part on the neck is rubber.

Ken, I am not a bird expert, but have worked as a docent at Zoos and Aquariums. My birds are two Sun Conures who like to chew, but not the cage. If you don't give enough interesting things to chew in the cage and your bird likes to chew the cage, stay away from this one. It is well built I am very happy with it, but birds will be birds. Maybe you should consider a stainless steel cage. Good luck with your Cockatoo.

Absolutely, my 48lb BC mix walks into it and sleeps in it at night by is choice. He easily got out of other crates I had that were in the $200 range. His brother is fine in the other type to a degree, he chewed all the plastic. The cage you are considering doesn't have anything for chewing. It's a great cage, I highly recommend this cage, price is high but worth it!

For the safety of your cat or kitten , please do not leave the string type of toy lying around. Your cat can choke on the string portion, and can cut its mouth on the plastic part. Also a cat or dog should not be alone with a "stick" type toy, jumping or running with a stick toy ( as with your children) is very dangerous. The toy can get accidently jammed down the pets throat . And result in costly vet bill or possibly death of your cat or dog. Even a pencil or ink pen is dangerous . Put them away please. So have fun play with your pet, but be careful what the pet has access to when you are not there to supervise. God Bless ALL who read this.

I don't know. My 2 cockatiels started eating the second I put the feeder in the cage. Are the birds tame, maybe put some feed in your hand close to the feeder. Good luck. I also have 7 parakeets that eat out of the feeders.

I have had my cage about 8 months and haven't had any problems but my bird doesn't chew on the cage bars. I make sure she has plenty of chew toys.

Yes it is safe for all birds. I have a number of cages and this is my absolute favorite! I have a Sun Conure in this cage and it's perfect.

I think your dog would be okay with it. My dog loves Nylabones, but he's a 45lb vigorous chewer and this one wasn't tough enough for him. He was able to break off the tail, head, and little bumps on the body and unfortunately he swallowed some, which gave him severe diarrhea. So as long as he/she isn't strong enough to chew a lot off at a time and doesn't swallow any, I think she'd be ok. As far as the teeth problem reviews, I think there is always a risk in giving your dog a durable chew toy. They're tough. That's the point haha

The box says it's safe in all bird baths. I was worried about electrocuting birds or other critters, but I called, and they said that as long as none of the actual coil was exposed, there is no problem. I assume that's even more important in a metal bath.
