Got a few more shots of Peanut hanging out on his tree. Someday I will use a camera instead of my phone. These were taken at about 3:00am. He stays hidden away all day but is very active after 10:00pm. I was using blue LED lights but he seemed to still stay hidden with them on so I switched to Red LED and they don't seem to bother him.
Thanks for looking  |

Peanut is looking great, love his tree for him 
Mine always stay hidden during the day and come out at night, but that's all BRB's for you
I have one CRB which breaks the rule and is out most mornings around 10.00am to say 'hello' and expects to come out and play! |

Dee, the tree is hard plastic mold. Some pet stores carry them. It looks fairly real and works as a hide also. It has two hollows in it. Peanut likes to go through them then set his head on a branch. He spends more time on the tree than anywhere else when he is out at night. There are several different sizes and designs. If you cant find one at a pet store check online.

| Cool. I reckon that's the way to go. We've got a proper wooden branch which we have to rinse the mould off every day :\ Bit of a pain!! Think we'll try a plastic one!!!! Thanks :) |

Looking good, Jeff! The red bulb also seems to allow better color in your pictures.
Dee, try bleaching your wooden branch -- that may kill the mold for once and all. Just make sure to soak the branch thoroughly afterwards. If that still does not work, switch to plastic or ceramic. |

| Awww, he is so adorable! And it looks like he has settled in very nicely. :) Love your setup, too. I may have to go on a search for Marius to get him a branch like that. I'm seriously anti-mold here, so plastic and glass are the only way for me. :D Bleaching might work for a time, but I dunno if it would keep it off permanently (though it just might and is definitely worth the try! ;) ). |

| Think I'll settle for something artificial. Don't like the idea of it being mouldy to be honest. I'm sure I'll get something that looks fairly natural :) |
