Magnetic bowls & drinkers – clamp / glue holder sets
Applies to
Clamp holder sets and clamp holder bundles, as well as glue holder sets and glue holder bundles for magnetic bowls & drinkers.
Material description
- Bowl and holder: food-grade polypropylene (PP)
- Magnets: embedded neodymium magnets sealed with 2-component, food-grade epoxy resin
- Included: four cable ties made of polyamide (PA) and two sheet-metal adhesive pads
General safety information
The set is designed exclusively for use in terrariums. Keep it out of reach of children to avoid swallowing of small parts or improper use.
Clean all parts thoroughly before first use.
Warnings concerning magnets
- Risk of pinching: Magnets can trap skin or fingers, especially when attaching to metal surfaces. Take care not to place fingers between magnet and metal.
- Electronic interference: Magnets may interfere with pacemakers, credit cards, mobile phones and other electronic devices. Keep the product away from such items.
- Risk of breakage: If the product is damaged, magnets may become exposed. They must not come into contact with animals or small children.
Installation notes
Assemble and mount the set strictly according to the enclosed instructions.
Cleaning and care
- Clean bowl and holder with warm water and a mild detergent.
- Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive sponges to prevent damage to the material.
Disposal
- The product consists of recyclable materials and should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
- The sheet-metal adhesive pads must be disposed of separately, as they may rust and cause environmental pollution.
Flammability warning
The product is flammable. Keep it away from open flames and temperatures above 70 °C to avoid deformation or fire hazards.
When polypropylene (PP) and polyamide (PA) burn, potentially harmful fumes such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrogen-containing compounds may be released. Avoid inhaling these fumes and ensure good ventilation in case of fire.
Recommended target group and use
The set is intended for terrarium animals such as geckos and other small reptiles. It should not be used for other animal species or outside terrarium applications.
Possible hazards
- Swallowing of small parts (e.g. cable ties, sheet-metal pads or magnets) by children or animals can pose serious health risks.
- Risk of pinching injuries when handling the magnets.
- Rust on the sheet-metal pads in contact with moisture can lead to sharp edges and injury.
- Incorrect installation or overloading can damage the set and create hazards.
- Exposure to temperatures above 70 °C can deform or damage the material.

Isopod bowls – safety information
Material description
- Isopod bowls: polylactide (PLA)
General safety information
The bowls are designed specifically for use in terrariums and for isopods or other small animals. Keep them out of reach of children to avoid swallowing or improper handling.
Clean the product thoroughly before first use (see “Cleaning and care”).
Notes on use
- The bowls are suitable for use in humid environments.
- Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals or substances that may damage the material.
Cleaning and care
- Clean the bowls with warm water and a mild detergent.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to avoid damaging the material.
Flammability warning
The product contains combustible materials. Keep it away from open flames and high temperatures to prevent deformation or fire hazards.
When PLA burns, harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) may be released. Ensure good ventilation and avoid inhaling fumes in case of fire.
Disposal
The isopod bowls are made from biodegradable PLA. Please dispose of the product in line with local rules for biodegradable plastics.
Recommended target group
The product is intended for isopods and other small animals. It should not be used for other applications or animal species.
Possible hazards
- Swallowing of individual bowls or parts of them by small children or animals can lead to serious health risks.
- Material damage from heat: the product should not be exposed to temperatures above 40 °C, as PLA becomes deformable at relatively low temperatures.
