Has anybody used this playgym for their Eclectus? My Eclectus needs something easy to grip with his feet.I bought him a manzanita tree and it is too slippery for him even though it was sanded.

I have and a gray and she does good with it I took the swing out and put a rope swing in and just put toys all over she just fine hope this helps. They are the same size bird.

Sorry, mine has been used for a Macaw and a Caique so I am not going to be any help for you.

My Timneh has trouble on a manazita tree too but has NO trouble on the gym. She climbs everywhere from the toy hanger on the top to the seed catcher on the bottom (and then sometimes down over the seed catcher to the floor, alas...) She loves this gym.

My Eclectus has no trouble maneuvering her way around this gym. Of course, she likes to be as high as possible and will climb up the stand to the top bracket of they gym which is meant to hang toys from but it doesn't seem to bother her that its not as wide as a standard perch for her size. She's also an average size Eclectus. My main problem with this gym is that the cups can be removed easily by the bird once they figure it out.

I use this for my african grey and he has no problems gripping it. But, it is HUGE! And hard to clean the birds poo off all perches and steps. But my bird loves it. That's all that matters, :)

I have a Blue Fronted Amazon and he has no problem navigating. I moved the ladders to rhe center from under the food and water dishes as he pooped all over them. They were easy to move and they work better there.If I had it to do again, I would buy the smaller one. This one is really quite large for a bird his size.

I find it a little difficult with my "good" right hand to use to spray my back after my nightly dry sisal back scrubber to relieve itching. Then I enjoy the spray. Usually, my husband does it for me. I cannot use my left hand with a carpal tunnel thumb and a rheumatoid index finger, so I can only use my right hand and even then it is difficult to depress the button to spray and it sprays straight out. I think they could use an adjustable spray like cleaning sprays, straight out or a fuller misty kind of spray.

I have a 14-15# version, and like the others have stated, it's got very little bounce. It's great for resistance, and I've been doing floor slams with mine, and it's got only the slightest bounce. If you want bouncy, Valeo's basketball-style medicine balls are great. They have a good amount of bounce considering the weight.

Hi Kari, Here is what most buyers had to say; The batteries run out in record time. Won't walk on some surfaces. Don't last long. It's not just your son's spider, numerous people claim the same problem. Good luck.

I find the weisner clamp as good as it gets. Slipping is not a big problem, sometimes does, but depends on activity. Sitting for ling periods can make it slide off, but really not that often. I've tried everything else. This works.

Hi Amanda, I bought this product for my grandson & we haven't had any problems. We just give it a good hard shake & it goes. the harder & longer the shake the faster it goes. Maybe you should send it back & exchange it? Good luck. Danalee

Yes they get slippery. They are textured pretty good but its still plastic and it gets tough when your hands get sweaty. And I use these outdoors in phoenix in the dead heat of summer. I like to think it makes the workout harder tho.

Your arms and legs 'motorize' the Magne Trainer. Really enjoy mine! I saw and felt results the first week.....Good luck.

We put this booster on a leather chair and I find it very slippery-doesn't stay put well. Now it may be totally different on a wood chair or one with material, but I wish I went with one with straps.

Good question. This stuff lasts so long that when I started to run low I purchased a new one. As of yet I have not opened it but I will also be very disappointed if it is not the same. I used the eucalliptus before and it works but was nothing special. The sandal wood on the other hand was perfect and I like it more than any other product I have ever used. I hope your case is an exception.Joe

I have weimaraners 12 and a 10 years old. Cannot get the older one to go up the ramp at the angle it has to be to get into the car. since they are both still able to jump, I gave up. we practiced lower angles and that worked. the surface has good gripping stuff but mine just balked at the height.

I agree with Barb and Grandma D. It's a great product, all hard wood, and he will grow into it. I bought it for a one year old for a birthday present and it was very well received.

with the skirts on, it is difficult but it can be done. amazons are smart birds and can pretty well do what they set their mind to. I bought this playstand because of the wood ladders and perches because i felt they were easier on their feet as opposed to the small metal ones. downside is that an amazon will probably chew on the wood. you can replace easily by making a trip to hardware store. for the money, this is one of the best i found and prevue is a good product. Hope I was helpful

It did great on hardwoods and Berber. I believe we have something called frieze in our bedrooms and he couldn't deal with that until he was bigger. That definitely wasn't ideal.

I'm not an expert but I have a chameleon in 2 cages that are 2x2x4 and staked one on top of the other and put a ficus for him to climb on. He has been doing well and usually hangs out near the top by the light. He's usually just a few inches away from it so I guess it isn't too strong.

Donna it is not recommended for fiber glass tubs but I used a piece of the rubber gripper material under the grip parts. I'm talking about the rubber gripper material used under area rugs or even used under place mats to stop things from slipping. It seems to cushion it just enough. My mother in law has used it with no problems a little over 9 months. I hope you understand the material I'm speaking about.

I got a GrippMat from a local pet store. It has a small lip and grips to prevent movement. My cat doesn't make too much of a mess with the water is it works great with that plus we have hardwood floors to worry about.
