[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 125352, member: 26980"] If the screen is bonded, where the crossing wires are physically seamlessly connected, they won't get stuck. If they are simply knitted into place, the claws might get stuck. If the screen isn't bonded, you can spray it with urethane clear coat and shake it if it completely clogs the holes. The surface tension of the paint will fill in the gaps that otherwise might trap a claw. Obviously let it dry for 24 hours and thoroughly soak and rinse it off with distilled water just in case. Most modern cages are built with bonded screens because it's a known and a solved problem. [/QUOTE]
