Only untreated, natural pine wood is used for the Nibble
Shelves - the only treatment it receives is being kiln-dried to sterilise
against any natural spores or bacteria that may have been present in the tree.
Kiln-drying the wood also removes virtually all of the Phenol from the wood -
this is the natural sap that gives pine it's fresh smell, but it is also a
natural acid and if consumed in large quantities, it can give your pet
digestive problems, particularly in rats.
The shelves will fit any animal cage with mesh up to 1" or 25mm, or barred cages with 1/2" or 13mm spacing. Different fitments can be supplied if required (although they are not suitable for Rotastak or Habitrail style Gerbil and Hamster housing)
Each Nibble shelf is held in place using 40mm screws and 30mm washers. Enough fixings are supplied with each shelf to ensure a secure and stable fitment, without stressing or damaging the animal cage bars, whilst also keeping the shelf close to the bars, reducing the risk of your pet catching it's limbs
All fixings are flush against the outside of the cage to prevent any damage to your interior walls, or to stop you catching clothes which may happen when using wing-nut type fastenings. Attaching the shelves requires nothing more than a cross-head screwdriver. All fixings are pre-drilled and threaded, minimising the effort needed to install them in the cage.
No metal fixings are within "nibbling range" so your pet will not be able to detach the shelf from the cage, nor will your pet injure itself on any screws. Your pet will be curious when the new ledge is first installed, so all exposed edges of shelves are sanded smooth and checked for splinters before despatch. It will not take long for the ledge to be "customised" to your pet's liking!
You can be assured that all Shelfridges products have been thoroughly cage tested by our own two Chinchillas
