MODS: I couldn't decide whether to post here, or in Behavior and anatomy. This evening I was cleaning Sugi's cage and cleaned up his monkey mess (he loves to fling his little monkey toys everywhere, and he hides some in his pouch). I was washing everything down when I noticed Sugi has been chewing on the "point" where the little plastic monkey's hands would be. I took the scissors and cut off the rough stuff, and it occurred to me that these little toys COULD become a choking hazard for gliders who like to chew. For now, the monkey toys are in good condition, so I'll let him play with them, but I thought I should just post in case anyone else has a little gnawing monster like my Sugi. Just a reminder to check all toys, pouches, and stuff for any potential dangers. I'd love to have a reptarium (since my spring break is coming up, and I want to take a road trip), but I think Sugi would waste one within a half hour... he's such a feisty little furball!

my guys knaw on the hands of monkies a little and I've had to clip some hands to keep them safe; but my guys spent a month in a reptarium and had no problem... never chewed on it; and believe me, I checked it every single day to make sure they hadn't!
so you might be ok using it even w/ a chewer

Like Faery, I've had a little guy, Oscar, in a reptarium for a very long time now and he once gnawed up a toy soldier in one night. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Needless to say he didn't get any more toy soldiers just in case, but he's never chewed his rept. If you suspect at all, though, that yours would I think it's wise that you're going with another cage to be safe....not to mention to save you from wasting your moolah. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Thank you for the heads up about the monkeys.

We made ours a tent toy-noticed the same thing and that a couple of those points were very close to having a piece come off. Having had a glider die of an intestinal blockage/perforation (not related to the monkeys) and what pain he was in, I think with a chewer supervision is a good idea-to be safe.

Thanks for the warning regarding these toys. I will have to snip these when I get home tonight.
