Yup! Although I don't often see him in his little tree, I know he uses it because he leaves plugs hanging off the branches a lot, and I do catch him sometimes. He was only 5'-5.5' when I first put him in here, which is why the branch is so small. He still uses it with ease, so I've left it in there. It's an all-natural branch that I cut off a tree and let dry since it was green.
