Nothing is getting through those.To bond a screen, you need to put her into another cage for a while.  Obtain a spray can of polyurethane paint, preferably clear coat unless you want a color.Spray multiple light coats on both sides of the screen. The object is to use surface tension to fill the small voids where the wires cross over which is where they get stuck.You want to make sure that the screen holes aren't filled by tapping it lightly. Pay special attention to the edge of the screen.Make sure it dries for at least 36 to 48 hours and wash it before putting her back in.</blockquote>
