I really missed this place. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I was just as shocked as you were. You always hear it said that they arboreals don't get stuck in them like the terrestrials do, so I left the mesh on one of them. I was doing feeding when I saw her struggling to get her claws out. I had to turn the enclosure on its side to get her down. It was a wakeup call for me. The only other instance I heard of involved a pokie that got stuck. I don't think that it happens often, but it CAN happen.</blockquote>
