I thought she may have broken it but luckily she now seems to be using it s normal so hopefully she just wrenched it a little.

I know they need to have a few slits to attach the ladder to but I am not sure why there are grooves al the way around the shelf. Thinking about it it seems like a possible hazard.
Could I ask you to email Savic regarding this if you have a spare moment, I can get the address for you, I think they seem to think that Im a one off case and obviously this shelf needs to be recalled. Both hamsters have had lucky escapes and it could have been much much worse.
