I put some Science Selective biccies in the petals - Smokey took them out very, very carefully and I don't think she's looked at it since! She's now dug a pit in her substrate right under the flower, so it's a bit of a stretch to reach it...but I like how it looks and she will suddenly decide to chew it to bits, I'm sure!

I have got more tubes now so I'm going to make one the same as yours too.
Yours looks really good I really like how it looks with different size tubes might have to try a make one like yours myself but I need to find different size tubes first. That's normally the way thing work when you are looking for something you can't find it until you've finsihed.
