I think the main reason not to use it would be the possibility of impaction if it were ingested while feeding. Left dry it may get dusty, and moistened it may muddy. In either case it could leave the BP looking dirty.

As far as plants you could use. I think anything you put in there will be either destroyed by the nightly cruises or at least knocked down, causing you to have to set it all back up every morning .
