I use it in the mouse cage, a great piece for climbing around, building tunnel systems underneath, etc. IDEAL!

I have bought two of these. They are fantastic for your hamster to climb over and under and make a great addition to a natural themed cage. I love them!

I imagined the branch to be much bigger, but oh well, it's still okay. What I find really bad, though, is that the product tag is attached with long staples! I spent at least 30 minutes trying to pull them out and luckily managed to do it without breaking anything, but seriously, how can you attach such staples so tightly when the product is meant for rodents to climb and nibble on?! High risk of injury! If I hadn't been able to remove them, my rats wouldn't have been able to use it for playing!

My three fancy mice are having loads of fun with their large and beautifully twisted grapevine. The long branch serves as a ladder to the upper level of the cage (I was able to do without the ramp that came with the cage), while the other parts of the vine are used as a climbing spot and framework for nest building. Conclusion: excellent value for money! The warning about the staples is definitely justified, but luckily they were easy to remove.

Unfortunately, I’m not very happy with my vine. It’s more like a thick branch with a few “lumps” at the end. It doesn’t resemble the product image at all. Plus, it’s only 43 cm long. I guess I just had bad luck with my choice. At least the price is reasonable, and my mice will surely have fun with it.

The staple on the vine is obviously not good, so the vine can't be used by any animal. I removed the staple with pliers, which was really easy. Otherwise, the vine is absolutely fantastic. Over time, I've already ordered 5 or 6 vines, and they were all very different. For smaller vines, I ordered another one and then intertwined two smaller vines. At Zooplus's price, that's definitely doable. My budgies love them for nibbling, resting, climbing, etc.

Much smaller and far less branched than shown in the product image. Of course, it’s a natural product, but I had imagined it to be a bit bigger, especially since the packaging was enormous! A lot of air was shipped along with it...

The size of the vine is fine, but it's a bit tricky to remove the staples. On top of that, it's not as nicely branched as shown in the picture. Visually, it doesn't really convince me, but my degus seem to like it quite a bit.

Since I had always bought climbing vines for my rats at a much higher price from the pet shop and had only good experiences with Zooplus before, I decided to order them from here this time. In the shop, you naturally have a selection, and I always pick out the nicest one for climbing. However, even the most scraggly specimens in the shop are better than the grapevine that was sent to me. Not only is it much smaller than stated, but due to its shape, it’s hardly suitable for climbing. Unfortunately, it bears no resemblance to the beautiful, knotty, branched example shown in the photo and looks more like a lump. I had to get very creative to even place it in the cage in a useful way. Of course, with natural products like these, not all specimens are the same, but I think I’ll continue buying grapevines from the shop. There, you can see what you’re getting for the price.

Bought for climbing... looks simply great... Hamsti likes to use it for climbing. At first, I had concerns because, as mentioned in a review, there was a clip attached to the root. I drilled it out with a sharp object and managed to remove almost everything... then I positioned the root so the hamster can't reach it... :-)

The product itself is good and also well-suited for rodents to gnaw on and climb. But be careful: a product label is attached to the vine with staples! When I tried to remove it, one of the staples broke off (the staples are very long!) and got stuck in the vine... we had to saw off a whole piece of the vine to remove everything! Very dangerous for rodents as they could injure themselves while nibbling or even swallow the metal piece if it’s not completely removed!!!

I’ve just ordered a second one, and this one is much better. It’s definitely around 50-60 cm tall. So the specifications are accurate.

I bought the grapevine for my fancy mice to climb on, and overall it's great, but the size specification of 45-70cm is completely wrong. The one I received is at most 35cm, which is quite disappointing... Looks like I'll have to buy another one so my little ones can have the climbing fun I had envisioned for them...

I bought the grapevine as a climbing option for my three rats, and I have to say it's really good. I drilled holes at the ends of the vine and attached it to the cage with wire. This way, they can climb well. And the best part is, they can't destroy it, which often happens otherwise.

This was already the second grapevine I had ordered. As with the first one, this time too, a very beautifully grown and large vine piece was delivered.

For the chinchilla cage. At first, I was curious why one should spend so much money on a vine branch, but once I had the piece in my hand, it quickly became clear. A great shape, super clean, and perfect for decorating the cage. It was immediately used as a climbing option and gets nibbled on a bit too. I'll order a second one, then the cage will look even better and be used even more efficiently.

It's quite heavy, so they can't knock it over. They love climbing on it and occasionally nibble on it ^^.

My degus love the root. They nibble on it and climb all over it like there's no tomorrow. Great product!

I bought the root for my pet mice, and they absolutely love it ;D They climb on it a lot and really enjoy it. It’s also a great eye-catcher and looks beautifully natural :) However, I did find it a bit pricey, so I’m only giving it 4 stars.

The root is really great! Looks good and is definitely an eye-catcher! Only the price could be lowered a bit ;-)
