Nail Trim Now Falling Off Her Perch

[Facex2]

I just got my newest addition her full check up and all is good but now she keeps falling off herperch. What can I do to keep her from falling I don't want her to get hurt

You could lower her perches so she wouldn't fall so far. They must have trimmed her toes too short. She's not bleeding is she?

No she is not bleeding but I am afraid she will get hurt if I lower her perch she will have a long way up to her food that means more climbing and more falling

That happened with Puck. His nails were pretty long when I got him (so sharp they would cut me just from standing on my hand), and I think the woman took off as much as she could do safely, but he did have trouble holding onto perches and his sleep tent.

I put some towels on the bottom of his cage so he'd have some cushioning.
You could even put a pillow or two. I covered them in paper towels so I can change the paper towels without having to wash the towels as often.

When I got Bob's nails done he had trouble stitting on my shoulder and favored the smaller perches in his cage.

Does she still have nails that you can see? How long are they?
I think that she will adjust, it will just take time for her to realize the difference & adjust her grip. I would maybe lower her perches & pad the bottom of her cage with towels until she has the time to adjust her "grip" on the perches & food bowls.
