Just used the chair to hold it up I'm afraid! We did consider sectioning it off as he does look really small in it, but he seems to love exploring it all and really does make use of the extra space, he has been eating since the first day we picked him up and is generally unaffected by pretty much anything! Will def keep an eye on it tho, thanks!

Hey, nice viv!!
Where did you get your bamboo bridge? I've been looking for 1 and other than making 1 i can't find 1 small enough. i have found the edging things you get but r way too big! And how did you fix it to the viv?
Your viv looks cool!!

Yup, discovered that already sneaky buggers hide everywhere. Feeding in a tub at the moment same as we feed the cresties, that way we can make sure he finds them all!

Thanks! I'm afraid we made it! It took ages but we tried to keep everything made by us that we possibly could! Bought the bamboo from a garden centre. Drilled lots and lots of holes, threaded it with wire! Best advice I can give....make sure the holes drilled are exactly the same distance apart on every piece! Doh! Fixed it to the viv with picture hooks (little loops that attach to the back of picture frames to allow you to thread wire through).
