Thinking of doing something along the lines of what the dart frog keepers do with polystyrene and grout to build up climbing areas at the back for my hinges. Would like to get opinions on it-risk of eating the polystyrene etc.- as I know there are some frog keepers on here.

New threads can be posted by the 'new topic' button near the top of the main page for a section.
The enclosure will be 0.9m high, so plenty of height. I will look into which grouts are safe-and yes, I realise it is addictive and time consuming lol!
