Guinea pig and hamster cages, do this so they don't open easily!

​When living with small pets, one thing that surprisingly requires attention is securing the cage door.
​
Guinea pigs and hamsters are curious and surprisingly strong, so they often open the cage door themselves when pushing or pulling on it. This can lead to escape accidents, so caution is advised.

However, there's a simple solution without having to buy a separate lock or fastener: a bread clip (a bread bag clip)!

As you can see in the photo, simply attach the bread clip to the hook on the cage door.

It prevents the door from swinging open easily,

and prevents escapes while still allowing easy opening and closing.

This is a handy, easy-to-use tip that doesn't require any special tools or investment.

I tried this on my guinea pig cage, and it held the door securely in place, effectively preventing children from getting out. It's a truly useful way to keep your pet safe, even with a simple idea.

​A simple life hack! With just a single, often-discarded bread clip, you can secure a guinea pig or hamster cage door so it doesn't open easily. Here are some practical ways to keep your pet safe.

How to: Attach to the latch of the cage door

When living with pets, these small ideas can make a big difference in safety. Don't throw away those bread clips lying around the house. Use them as safety devices for your pets!
