I've seen the rainbow colored ones in cages hung both ways, vertical and horizontal. But it seems like they could get caught in it. :question:

Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	Lots of people use them and have had great success with them, one members birds used to sleep in it, myself I wouldn't use them but thats me and Squeak probably wouldn't play with it anyway. You could try having out side of the cage for when they are out under supervision.

It just doesn't look safe. I was just wondering since I see them quite often being used. There's no way I will take a chance on getting a little foot stuck after our initial foot scare. :scared: I'm still getting a kick out of watching him attack a shiny button! jumping for joy

Too easy for them to get their head or foot pinched or worse yet stuck...
