just wondering what everyone uses in their vivarium's or outwith for enrichment?
ours have branches with different levels and widths but rarely use them, they prefer to climb over and in between their rocks, they come out to sit with me and watch tv or listen to music (they really like Muse) and I made some tubes with holes cut out so when they are getting a treat of worms etc they have to roll them around to get the worms out, I don't like sand as a substrate but give them a sand pit occasionally to allow them to dig as I feel I'm suppressing their natural behaviours by using a tiled floor, but I just feel like they sit around most of the day looking bored.
I'm not sure if I'm anthropomorphising them as they seem really happy, have never puffed or shown a black beard whilst I've had them ( 2years), never bitten, healthy.
most reptile shops in the UK just sell branches and rocks as enrichment but seeing other with swings and ladders etc makes me wonder what similar things I could use.
