Ok great will have a play around with it later and have them more central. Thanks again

@Tom I will stick to that then thank you! Him reaching 4-5 inches seems a lifetime away currently! The plants do I center or take out please? And thank you for all the replies

@Tom thank you, I think he is small for a year so will limit it would a hour a day be too much?

In regards to the plants should I move or get rid of? He often likes to walk in and out of them.
