Troubleshooting
Terrarium appears unstable after assembly
Double-check that all screws and connectors are fully tightened. Ensure the terrarium is placed on a perfectly level surface.
Poor ventilation or musty smell
Ensure the steel mesh areas are clear of obstructions. Wipe down the interior with a damp cloth and allow to air out completely. Check substrate for excess moisture.
