I'm bored in work, and just had an idea...

Has anyone tried making a toilet roll tube into a sort of climbing frame? I was thinking about cutting a couple of holes along the length of the tube, then standing it upright in the corner of the viv to make a sort of toilet roll log. I've also got some of those silk plants, and thought I could stick the leaves into smaller holes in the tube to make it tree like.

To stop it falling over, maybe use some cable ties through small holes and out through the viv ventilation holes, with the tied end on the outside of the viv of course.

Going to try this when I get home.. might not work, might work great.

As an aside - is blue tack safe inside the viv?

That sort of mesh, you can usually buy it in metre lengths from a few B&Qs and homebases. Usually about 1.50 for a square metre.
You can then cable tie different stuff to it as well then.

Sorry for caps, can't be bothered to re-type now.
