Trees in enclosures??

[Garter_Gertie]

Yup, Lori. Plus it makes for a more interesting piece of 'art.' I'm more inclinded to spend time watching The Boys, and my fish when I had them, because the enclosures were as wild-like and/or decorative as I could get them.

Ah! "Esthetically" pleasing. Thass whut I wuz getting at!

Guys, quick question... what kind of height do you give babies to climb on? Do you worry about them falling? I want to provide lots of exercise/exploring opportunities but don't want to risk a dangerous fall. Thanks

Tami I use the little hide logs for babies, like the one in the Magma photo, they can climb, and little risk of falling.

the plastic ones made for turtles work best, wood soils and is harder to clean.

Plastic washes up like a dish

Thanks Wayne! You know, I'm loving the drink holders/trays from fast food restaurants as hides. I posted a pic somewhere. Turn it upside down and I use one hole to stick a fake plant into and Sly uses the other holes to pop in and out of. It's not Esthetically pleasing... may work on that... but being beige they kind of blend in and don't look too bad either. Just need to find a way to water proof them so I can keep my chubby butt away from Carl's Jr

Anyway, so falling is a legitimate concern for the babes, right?

Yes and no.

Falling into aspen or carefresh should not be that big of a deal. newspapers laying flat on the bottom provide no cushion for the landing.

With babies being so delicate, I'd prefer not to take chances, but that's just me

If you would like, PM me and I'll tell you about the online pet store that sells those hide logs for $3 each. and 8qt bags of aspen for like $4

Ah heck with it, Restaurant - Home Page tell lisa that Wayne sent ya

Oh my, no idea why the link says that, I just tested it, and it is correct.

Thanks for the link and the advice Wayne!

Yeah, I'd rather be safe than sorry with the babies, too. It's just that I've never had one and wasn't sure how delicate they really are. Guess I'll find out soon
