I don't remember where I read it but somewhere it said that tarantulas can chew through metal cages/screens. One time my cat came into my room and sat on top of my p.iriminia cage and ripped a hole in the cage while I was sleeping. I woke up to an empty cage and it took me three hours to find her. Never again are cats allowed in my room! Anywho I duct taped the cage lid back together I may post pics later to show it to you. Ever since then I've been paranoid about her chewing on the wire and getting out again? What should I do? Is this a valid reason to be concerned?
Side note: I recently rehoused her 1 week ago and she's been climbing on the sides and upside down on the top of the cage A LOT. The substrate she had was moldy so I had to do a full clean out got completely new substrate. I'm worried about her slipping or falling since she's about a foot And a half up from the substrate. Yesterday she fell and today she seems absolutely fine. The main question here is how do I make her cage safer and is it possible for her to chew through the screen and get out? I have one of the cages that have the two doors at the front and a top that comes off(which has been repaired with duct tape)
