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

Rats love climbing on it, chewing it and it helps with their nails. Definitely recommend for any rat owner‼️‼️

got a few for my two rats and they work really well and are really secure, wish you could choose the colour but it doesn’t really matter too much as long as it does its job and makes my rats happy

My Degus, my rats and my chinchilla all have one in their cage! They love them!

Within minutes of this being fastened on the cage, the chinchilla sat on it. Already got chew marks after a couple of hours

My rats love these and it's a great addition to the cageYou can make stairs and it keeps nails down!

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!

Our Chinchillas live these but get through them quite quickly as they both nibble at it from each side

I bought this after it being suggested on youtube by many many rat owners, when it arrived I got the pink one which is alright. It is a very bright colour.Once I took it out of the package I could smell this very odd, almost like floam (if you remember that colourful glue with the little styrofoam balls in it) and I was very sceptical to be honest about putting it in my rat cage. I put it in anyway, mostly to give them something to climb on and it seems to be helping with the length of their nails, too.So far they have not been chewing on it, which I'm glad about really.The chemical smell has somewhat faded away, but it is still there.I'm unsure if I would 100% recommend this for your rats, or any other animal, really.
