Safety net for blind glider - 04/26/15 09:14 AM
So my glider wasn't blind when i had rehomed him, he was active and ran around like crazy. When he started to develop cataracts he started having issues getting around safely so i moved some things around to ensure he was safer. Then i finally got him a companion and she eventually got use to him and they hit it off. she used the wheel alot more and got him to use it after 3 months of not using it since he went blind.
So i got a better wheel, (use to have the wodent wheel but was worried about safety) but the problem is the stealth wheel is lacking the side panel like the wodent wheel. I moved some things so he would be safer,but i still am worried hes going to be running and flip out and hit himself.
I bought one of these nets early on, and i put it under there pirate ship pouch so he couldn't fall easily out:

however, they stopped selling these around my area in petco,(which makes sense because after a few washes, and when i tried to move it underneath the wheel it's almost impossible to fully get cleaned since the knots shrunk)
So i was wondering if anybody had some ideas how to make something like this for his safety so in case he did slip out he wouldn't get hurt.
