Chains holding up tubes.

I recently got a new cage for my three carpet sharks, with lovely plastic tunnels that are attached around the cages with chains+clips for them to climb up to the different floors and platforms.

The ferrets love these tubes so much they're up and down them all the time. I was quite lucky to be there when my jill, Tulip, had accidently slid down one of these tubes and almost hung herself on one of the chains holding them up.

I've now fixed it so that every chain and anything similar is on the outside of the cage rather than in the way of falls and tumbles.

My advice in anything potentially hazardous in this way should be positioned so it can be outside their safe haven, or just plain discarded.
