eric, i always give hatchlings a tilted branch to work out on and they use it quite a bit. i think it's good for them overall plus they really seem to like the exercise. i have seen adult bts & unis go up trees like no tomorrow [!] but in captivity there's no real need for this as they get room service instead of exercise. anyway, i gave mine some screwed in twisting series of long, 1'' thick branches down the length of the cage [up high but allowing head room] for them to use and i often found up there when they're out. amf, it seems like they always go to the b/room from up there anymore [making an even larger mess than usual]. that little stretch up and pull seems to be like a laxative to them...........:>/
