Lava Ledge, Shelf, Climbing Wall for Small Pets, Chinchillas, Ferrets, Rabbits, Rats, Safe to Chew, Natural Pumice Rock

Pleased with this purchase

Despite the recent reviews mentioning a petrol-like smell, I decided to purchase one of these for my 3 rats as a means to help keep their claws filed, as I know in the past they've been highly recommended. When mine came, it definitely did have some kind of chemical smell to it-- but it wasn't strong enough to be a concern in my opinion. That said, my parcel was left outside in the shed for a day so that may have allowed it to 'air out' a bit. Prior to the lava ledge, my rats didn't take much interest in chewing anything in the cage. They didn't seem to care for any of the wood chews I bought them. But, within less than a day from attaching this to the cage, they had nibbled all around the edge of it! It's still perfectly intact and sturdy, can handle the weight of 3 young adult rats with no problems, and it seems to be a big hit with them. I see them sitting on the ledge very often, chewing away at the pumice or using it to get into their sleeping pod. It hasn't made a huge difference to their claws in my own experience, but I imagine with constant use it it will certainly be better than nothing. Overall, I would definitely recommend the lava ledge and I will be buying another one in the future. If yours comes with a strong smell, leaving it outside (even in the packaging) for a day should help!

Really good

Use in my rats enclosure primarily to keep nails trimmed, I pop them under all water bottles. Saves the stress of having to actually clip them. The last year, as some of my rats have become elderly, I've used them as stairs so they can all climb to the top of a double tier cage to their hammocks. I have about 14 of the ledges in use at any one time. I could add a ladder but this keeps them more active. Mine generally don't chew them but they do get mucky. Trying to find a way to deep cleaning without using chemicals that will harm the furry beans. I currently have to replace them regularly which isn't ideal given the cost. Only big issue is the fact 50% of them are broken on arrival, I have to glute the metal bar back into ledge before usable.

great for rats! they love climbing on it and chewing it. it has a smell when you first open it but goes away after you air it.

Fab, ratties love it

Rats love it

Yeah, no problems here. Hammies are using it fine and seem satisfied.

Excelente, a mis chinchillas les encanta

Würden meine Tierchen es auch benutzen, wäre es wahrscheinlich gut xD

Nice - larger than expected

Bigger than expected, and the rats seem to like using it as a perch, and sometimes as a gnawing/chew. It seems to keep their nails down a bit. GREAT VALUE @ $13. I saw them as much as $24 on other sites. I noticed someone complained about the quality, I have not found there were any concerns, seems to be the correct brand and quality Id expect.

Le premier qui est arrivé était cassé. Un deuxième a été renvoyé dans la foulée et est arrivé en parfaite état. Nos rats s’en servent pour monter dessus 😁
