Branches in the cage?

Posted by Bosse on June 06, 2000 at 02:41:46:

Hi

I would like to get some oppinions on the use of oak branches in the cage. We've been using them for over 20 years now and I know that the advice is not to use oak, pine and equals.

Tha problem for me/us is to use anything else since they have to last for long and also "survive" the moist. Also, the size of the exhibits leaves us no choise other than to use the oak, since the branches sometimes exceeds 7 meters ( 20 feet )in length and have to be strong enough to on both ends.

Any comments?
