What does the "black hammertone finish" mean? I am looking for a cage for my sugar gliders and some finishes are toxic.

Hard anti rust finish. I've kept 3 Cocktails in mine for over 15 months with no ill effects. Chech this out at your local petstore.

I don't know if the finish is toxic, but I believe it is a powder coated finish - kind of a mix of black and grey of the base metal. Very durable.

You might have to contact the maker. It's not toxic to birds. It is a hard flat black finish.

Its a soft steel. The ornate leaves will bend if you do not handle it right, but the cage bars are pretty solid and will not bend. The steel is powdercoated with something too. I've had this thing for like 2 years and its still solid, pretty, and unscratched.

I use mine with sugar gliders. It is located on the wall at mid-height in the cage. They have no issues getting in and out of it. They scale the side of the cage and crawl over the top of the wheel and plop themselves into it. I do have a few fleece hammocks in place so the can jump to a safe location, but they usually just crawl out across the bottom of the wheel back onto the side of the cage.

Hi Catherine. I am very sorry but we will be of no help - I had two guys come in that do construction and they figured it out. Good luck, it is a beautiful cage when together and my birdies love it.

Well not sure why unsafe. My son has one and it works great for his Chinchilla he has had since a baby. Sorry you or someone had a unsafe experience. I was ask to give my advice and I did. I have seen many animals use these including Sugar Gliders. I know what they are. I am aloud my opinion as you are yours.

I have had resin birdbaths for quite a few years now, and they worked really well. Resin is a type of plastic which is non-toxic to birds. I would suggest one without a decorative finish, such as bronze or gold. I loved the antique green one I had, and the birds did , too. The resin holds up well during cold weather, B.

I had large dog visitors not live in ones but saw no damage. This is very dif than urathane. It is a subtle finish that looks like wax or hand rubbing. I personally want a glossy more bling look and probably won't use again. But if I had an old historic house I would use it on that.

It seems like it is the spacing and perhaps thickness of the bars. I have the L02 which is for parakeets, lovebirds, and finches. I think the L12 says it's for cockatiels. I love the cages I have. It's very easy to clean. No seed mess on the hardwood floor. Some little down feathers end up on the floor.

Good morning. Sturdy wood pieces you assemble. As for the non-toxic finishes, I hope so!!! We've had it in our lobby for about a year and nothing has chipped and is in great condition. I do recommend this product.

This is the perfect cage for Sugar Gliders, I bought this cage for my son's Flying Squirrel and it was the best purchase we could make after trying several others. We have the cage for more than a couple of years now and it is still in mint condition, easy to clean, easy to assembly and easy to move around. You will be happy with it!

I'd say the color of the wood is true to what is shown in the picture for mine, except mine have black stain sprayed along the four vertical corners of each post. This ties the color in better with the black upholstery and looks very nice.

Bottom is wood. My sulcata tortoise is now a year old about the size of my hand and the cage is still big enough for him. Also, I do keep the cage inside all year long.

I used salad bowl finish on the butcher block countertops I made and they look great. It is true it has an odor, but it isn`t much different from urethane and goes away when it dries. It dries faster than urethane and is a good tough finish that not only looks great but also is food safe. It is also easy to work with, you just wipe it on with a lint free rag. I love it.

I have one and I believe that it's wrought iron. It doesn't look like iron because it's coated somehow but the coating is very hard and strong. I love this cage!

It is light/medium natural cherry finish. I believe Hansen is more of a dark reddish finish, which it is not

I found, on ordering these cages, that the measurements belie the capacity to use them for budgies. They might be suitable for finches, but they're simply way too small for budgies to nest comfortably. On top of that, one of these cages arrived with an ill-fitted top grate. After much frustration with these cheaply-made cages I gave them (literally gave them) away to someone with finches because I couldn't stand having them around. A few months ago I purchased two 'Prevue Pet Products F075' cages and they're much sturdier, have more space, and are *much* easier to clean. They're pricier, but I've never had a nicer breeder stack and plan to purchase two more within the next six months.
