Small Animals: FAQ

How do I ensure the cage or accessory fits my pet?

Always measure your pet and compare against the dimensions listed in centimeters. AliExpress listings often provide detailed diagrams; ensure the internal space meets your pet's specific breed requirements.

How can I verify if the materials are pet-safe?

Look for 'BPA-free' or 'Natural Wood' in the descriptions and check customer photos for finish quality. Avoid painted items that do not specify non-toxic, water-based coatings.

What features indicate a long-lasting small animal product?

For cages, look for chew-proof metal or thick acrylic. For fabric items, high-density fleece or reinforced stitching ensures the product survives frequent washing and nesting behaviors.

What should I check regarding shipping for bulky items?

Many sellers offer 'AliExpress Selection Standard' for faster, tracked shipping on larger cages. Ensure the item is packed with foam protection to prevent acrylic cracking during transit.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
Non-Toxic Material Standards
Prioritize kiln-dried pine, birch, or untreated bamboo for wooden items to prevent respiratory issues caused by natural oils.
✓
Safety-First Design
Ensure exercise wheels are solid-surface rather than mesh to prevent bumblefoot or limb injuries in small rodents.
✓
Maintenance and Hygiene
Select habitats with deep, removable trays and accessories that are dishwasher safe or made from non-porous materials for easier sanitation.
✓
Ventilation Requirements
For acrylic or plastic enclosures, verify there are sufficient laser-cut air holes or a mesh top to maintain optimal air circulation.
