AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
The grapevine branches are loved for their unique shapes and decorative appeal, perfect for climbing pets like birds, mice, and hamsters. However, the staples used to attach labels pose a safety risk, requiring careful removal to prevent injury. Despite this, many customers find the product worth the effort for its aesthetic and functional benefits. Overall, it's a great addition to natural enclosures, offering both beauty and enjoyment for pets.

A very beautiful specimen
I ordered this type of grapevine for my budgies for the first time and was a bit sceptical about what kind of piece I would receive. It seems I got really lucky because the grapevine is truly beautiful. It's Y-shaped, nicely knobbly and twisted, and can be placed on the aviary in various positions. At the moment, it's still being eyed suspiciously, but that's the case with all new things for my flock. Otherwise, it just remains a great decorative item :-)

Fantastic!
I have brought 9 now and refuse to go anywhere else for my branches. The mice love them and they always come in different fun shapes. I’ve used other popular brands but this is by far the best quality. You’ll want to use a staple remover to get them out of the wood incase your pet gets hurt while chewing it but that only takes a minute

Brilliant but NOT SEFE !!!!!!!
The branches itself have interesting shapes. But some clever person from Trixie decided to staple the label into the wood with staple gun. Yes great idea to have small invisible sharp pieces of metal sticking out when animal climbs on it. I ordered 5 branches. It took me an hour and half to get the staples out. One I did not manage and I am not using it. It is not like pulling staples from paperwork. 4 branches have long deep narrow splits in them - need to be filled with moss or bedding for safety

Again and again!
I’ve already bought three of these grapevines, and every time I’m thrilled again. They come in such varied shapes, and the rats absolutely love climbing all over them. Secured to the grid with cable ties, and there’s instant excited scurrying about!

WARNING : REMOVE STAPLES TO AVOID INJURY
The ticket is attached to the branch with a 1/2” staple from a staple gun. I did not manage to remove the entire staple & didnt realise one pin was still in the branch broken & sticking out. I CANNOT IMAGINE THE INJURIES MY DWARF HAMSTER COULD HAVE SUSTAINED before i realised the problem. The staple had been applied to the underside of the branch and was not easily seen. Please make sure the staple is properly removed to avoid injury to your pet.

Quite alright.
I specifically bought this trunk because it looked in the pictures as though it was "three-dimensional" and would stand upright on its own. However, since the vine has grown flat, you can only lay it down or have to secure it with other pieces of furniture.

Great product, but
This is a great product and think my rats will love it. Unfortunately a label is attached with staples. One has removed ok the other has left a small sharpe piece of metal stuck in the wood. Haven’t managed to remove this as yet, a bit disappointed

I bought it for my golden hamster, and it's just brilliant – especially at such a great price.

So natural
It was perfect for my hamsters natural theme enclosure.

Absolutely nothing like the picture!
The roots are significantly shorter and have many sharp ends. I wouldn’t put these roots in the terrarium of my rodents due to the risk of injury!

Dangerous
I had to saw the ends off my branch as it had clusters of very spiky twigs on it. I then had to file some bits smooth after my hamster caught her ear on it. It’s great as a natural climbing aid for getting your hamster up levels but you need to really examine it and doctor it first!

Love this!!
Came very quickly and well packaged. I love how it looks in my hamsters new cage! Came as expected and would definitely recommend.

Amazing piece of grapevine!
This grapevine was massive when arrived. It is pretty good quality but there were lots of twigs coming off of it. I just chopped these off with some secateurs because they were quite sharp. Looks extremely neat and natural inside my German style enclosure. My syrian hamster loves climbing on it, I would 100% recommend for every hamster owner.

Annoying Clips
The vine is very beautiful in itself, but larger than expected. I would have loved to put it in my dwarf hamster's enclosure, but unfortunately, one of the silly clips broke, so I can no longer remove it.
So please, dear manufacturers, come up with a different way to attach your labels.
I would also wish for a smaller version.

Basic idea is good
With my last order, I received a grapevine in the specified dimensions. This time, it’s only half the size of the previous one but cost just as much. I’m a bit disappointed.
Additionally, the tag on the item is attached with long staples that are very difficult to remove.

Quite nice
The product arrived undamaged but doesn’t look as nice as it does in the picture. Since it’s a natural product, this isn’t a big deal for me.

Very good
Perfect for my mourning geckos. I wrapped it in vines and they love it.
