being meaning to share for a while... the dangers of using false plants. i believe fido has eaten a silk leaf and lucky passed with no I'll effects from what i can tell. we have pinned up these false vines to stop it happening again, ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1461700840.682858.jpg

I never thought it would be an issue:(. at least we know for future now :)
Sounds like it may be a good opportunity to switch them out for some real plants. I'm going to try my spider plant with my Russian today and see if he shows any interest.

I remembered today that yvonnee was curious to see how we delt with substrate in the glass runners.

I confess I still haven't solved the issue:(. however, using a paint brush to clean tracks on a daily bases and remove glass and 'brush out' wheels around once a week is maintained fantastically. though it can be messy!
