Could be a bit better made, but otherwise a lovely bridge.

I’ve ordered these bridges many times before and was always very satisfied, but this time much shorter bridges arrived compared to previous orders, and I have no use for these models. Had I known this, I wouldn’t have ordered them.

Got this from zooplus today and was really excited to put it into my hamster cage! Unfortunately while putting it in (I was gentle!) it broke so I can't attach one of the ends to anything, I'll probably still us it but it's not half as good as it could have been.

The bridges are really great, but unfortunately, all 3 out of 3 broke straight away. I fixed them with hot glue, but that doesn’t last forever either. If they were sturdier, they would definitely deserve 5 stars.

When we hung it up for the first time, the "end piece" of the bridge broke straight away. We then hung it the other way around and are using it as a staircase, so the side with the missing hook rests on the floor, just so it wasn’t a complete waste of money. Quality, however, is something else entirely...

Barely unpacked and bent into shape, the front part broke off. Also, lots of sharp edges that still need to be sanded down.

Our rats haven’t used the bridge all that often over the past four months. Nevertheless, the connecting wire has come loose from the base. When it comes to stability, the workmanship is therefore questionable.

I bought the bridge for my dwarf hamster. We use it as a "staircase" from the 1st to the 2nd "floor" of the enclosure. The gaps between the individual branches are sometimes quite large. In my circle of acquaintances, there was once a terrible accident where a hamster got stuck in one of these gaps and lost a leg due to severe injuries! That's why I glued the individual branches together with solvent-free wood glue (mixed with bedding). Now the bridge is really great :-)

I bought two of these bridges for my rat cage after reading the reviews and thought this would give them a good climing opportunity. Bridges look good but the little hooks are not very well secured and will come loose when moving the bridge around the cage, trying to find the right spot. Also, one of the bridges came apart on the top and I had to screw a new hole for the wire to go into. Could be better quality but if you get a good one that doesnt fall apart, you can actually do quite a bit with this accessory. Very versatile.

The suspension bridge is a great idea in itself, and my golden hamster enjoys climbing around on it. However, he much prefers gnawing on it, and the wood is very easy to chew through. The screw hooks at the ends also fall off quickly, so caution is needed to ensure the hamster doesn’t get injured by a loose screw or even try to eat one! I removed the screws and placed the bridge directly in the cage. In terms of durability, I’d say the bridge wouldn’t hold up to anything heavier than a golden hamster.

The bridge broke after just a few days for me, but I glued it back together with wood glue, and since then my little ones have loved it. I turned the hooks to the side, which makes them easier to latch on. Overall, it's good, but the workmanship leaves something to be desired.

I got 2 of these for my four degus, although they do like them, the screws fell off 10 minutes after me putting them into the cage, and I had to frantically search for them. I gave up reattaching them and got my own wire to attach them, the degus seem satisfied but I was quite disappointed with the attachments. Would probably be OK for smaller animals, but not for animals larger than a small hamster or rat unless you are willing to make your own attachments.

The bridge itself is great, but unfortunately, the fastening hooks barely hold. They keep falling off.

I bought this for my two degus and as soon as i put it in the cage the screws at the end of the brdge came off i had to empty the cage to find the screw. When i put the bridge back in after it broke it broke yet again the screws came out i had to completely rearange the bridge to finaly get it fixed. After all the trouble i must admit once i fixed it the degus loved it.

We bought this bridge for our flightless budgie so that he can climb from one cage to the next and reach the flying ones more quickly. The bridge is very pretty and well-made. However, the suspension is really useless. The hooks could have been bigger, or ones that can be screwed on wouldn’t have hurt either. As it is, you now have to equip the bridge with different hooks yourself... but I buy ready-made products because I don’t really have time for DIY projects... if I had the time, I could just build a bridge entirely myself...

Although, or perhaps precisely because, my ratties love them so much, the screws for fastening disappeared very quickly :-( I had to screw some in myself.

Actually, I think these pieces are great! They work really well as steps from one level to another, and the rats love climbing around on them and even nibbling on them a bit. However, I wanted to move one of them recently, and the first time I took it out of the cage, the end piece came off. I find that really disappointing—because of the glued (rather poor) quality, only 3 stars!

The bridge itself is OK, but the small hooks for hanging are a joke. They just tear out. However, if you screw in thicker hooks, it works.

Well, it does look very nice anyway. Unfortunately, the hooks on the bars don’t hold very well, and my rat boys manage to loosen them every night... I don’t think much of the hooks for fastening in general... They don’t hold properly.

My gerbils really like this bridge for climbing and getting to their higher platforms. I used to have a ladder, but it only ever lasted three days. The bridge manages to last two weeks before it's so gnawed that it needs replacing. I think it looks lovely in the cage, but unfortunately, it's too short-lived for a permanent setup.
