Aloha!!
I'm looking for a "spacer" I can use between small boards to create a bridge. I'm thinking of 8-10mm glass beads... Will they chew on glass? Is that too big or too small where they could choke on it if I don't pull a bridge piece out and replace soon enough? I mean, I'd love to say I'd notice if they were getting close to chewing as I'll be "in" their cage daily, but I just wanna make sure if I DO miss it or they chew it up at night, that the spacer wouldn't hurt them.
Any other suggestions?
Mahalo!

Glass would be fine to use. You would just have to inspect it every so often to make sure they dont chip from the bridge moving.

Can you be more specific about what you are doing? I don't get it.

Something like this...

That's awesome. I don't see any problem with using beads in that application. But certainly keep it well maintained so they can't get to them.

Back to my bridge questions... So I've cut my wood (but forgot the sander at dad's so ignore the roughness). My glass beads are 10mm thick. My question is about the spacing between the boards. One bead (10mm) or two (20mm), do you think best for their toes? The boards will be sanded on the edges so it'll be more rounded.
Anything else I should be aware of?

I would say smaller spacing is better. Less likely to get a foot through the gap
