This is a pretty cool idea. I think I'll give this a shot in my adult red's new enclosure...
Perhaps you could install it so that he could walk under it? Maybe in a doorway to his hide?

It must feel better than a flowerpot.
But not as nice as me gently rubbing.

Exterior deck screws through the wood and into the plastic.
Make sure that the sharp screw heads don't protrude.

I mean location....Above to get their back or to the side? I thought you said the side mount didn't work because they tried to climb it.
I have been using this one, and it works great.

I left it as is in my females pen because it has high walls, etc. For my male, however, I unscrewed it and placed it on the ground and he pushes against it and pushes it around the place. He will also sit and wait for someone to scratch his backside with it. His walls are only 26" high. (His pen was made to be a temporary thing, but I haven't been able to include him in with the females yet.)
When I first saw this subject line on the forum I envisioned a tortoise duct taped to paint sticks or sum such...
