Need some help with a quick fix, anyone?

Hey Everyone,

I'm in need of some advice regarding the capra. I'm not able to start constructing my enclosure for a few weeks. With that said, I've mentioned that I'm keeping my young 1.2 group in a 29 gallon. I've been feeding crickets etc. out of a dish, however, the crickets keep on escaping. Does anyone have any ideas how to keep the branches and vines off the floor of the cage so they don't bother my animals while they are sleeping? I've been thinking about putting something under the branches and vines to prop them up so the insects can't get up, don't know if this will work or not.

Anyways, I'm open to suggestions, and I know others are using glass cages, can you tell me how you deal with this? Thanks everyone!

Anthony

Well I opted for the removal of anything where crickets can hide, I left smooth branches and no foliage, this way the lizards can see the crickets. If they can see them they can eat them.

Cut your branches to fit, then wedge them with a piece of cork or rubber or even an eraser!

for vines use suction cups to anchor the ends to the glass. hang them just low enough that the dragons can grab on but so that they don't touch the floor!
