Gaps in viv decor
So.. we recently bought a tree thing for Noodle to hide in/climb on (Because he's a hardcore climber) and it's super wide and open at the base. However, I overlooked a hollow portion going up one of the branches and he sort of fits in it. I don't want him getting stuck, so is there anything I can fill that space with that won't hurt him? I'm loathe to take it out because he's loves the damn thing and is currently rubbing the rest of his shed off on one of the branches.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Maybe just take some damp paper, wad it up and pack it in tightly? Once it dries, it should stiffen up to fill the space. Newsprint paper works well for that.

Get an insulating foam like Great Stuff and fill the tree with it. It can then be trimmed, sanded, and painted if need be. These types of foam does expand a good bit so go slow so you don't waste it and make a mess.

I've stuffed it pretty tight with some paper towel, just for tonight.

Your Welcome!
Any hardware store will have it or something similar. Wal-Mart should have it too.
