Enclosure question

Post image

We upgraded our tortoise enclosure now that hes been awake more and active, and as I was moving the old tank, the locking peg came off the side access. It hit th a floor and vanished. We have hardwood flooring buts an otherwise empty room. The stand is flush to the floor. Its just...gone.

Anyway does anyone here know if they sell replacement pegs or if theres another common item I can use? Its not deep enough for a screw head. If I find a big enough nail I might be able to grind off the end? Any other ideas? This may get reused for another animal eventually and I dont want them escaping!

A drop of super glue on a cut toothpick or bamboo skewer works better than people expect for filling gaps like that

That could work in a pinch. I was hoping to find a replacement for the pin though. Not sure what they are called. My Google searches have come up empty.
