Warning – Rattan Balls

Since I only have willow balls myself, the problems with rattan balls have escaped me until now.

Due to a recent case, here are the problems that can occur:

• Budgies can wrap the nibbled-off pieces around their necks and then possibly no longer free themselves from them, as with the rattan piece in the picture above.
• Since rattan apparently frays when nibbled, fibers that are nibbled off can also be swallowed and form a tangle of fibers in the crop.
