And how to do so safely? I found some at a thrift store and got them because a video I saw said they were good to get So I don’t know anything

It should be able to hold a glider and toys whether it's sitting on the floor of cage or zip tied to side. Long flimsy slots can trap a leg or arm. All rules in your other threads apply. Hope that helps. Dawn Be patient, and Trust your journey.... Grace Leela Marcie Fiona, Dot, Stewie Dad, Mom, Ruby Wish I could turn back time... Miss you all...

Thank you so much by the way!

Originally Posted by Just900Questions The hole sizes are 2 1/2” tall, 6” wide (not counting rim), 4 1/2” long for the large one, holes about 1/3” by 1 1/4” So the 2.5", 6" by 4.5" are the actual dimensions of the bin?? 2 1/2” tall, 4 1/4” wide, 2 1/2” long for the smaller one with 1/2-1/3” by 1 1/2” for the holes These are too small. If the first set of numbers are dimensions, they can get trapped or even pinned down by another glider. Not safe. No hooks, they are small plastic and white do you have the link where these were used as toys? How do I see how rigid it is? is it sturdy? Do the slots give or move? Can a glider slip a leg or arm through? Gliders panic and will do whatever it takes to 'untrap' themselves. Their limbs are very thin and can slip if the long slots have much give to them.
