    I have one blue leg who constantly climbs and picks at the silicone

    Can he do damage? Anyone else have an issue

    My hermits like to climb up the silicone. I doubt they will be able to do any damage with those tiny claws.

    Mine do that all the time, very funny they get to the top sometimes and then fall, they never learn they just keep doing it.

    Only damage he'll do is to his self confidence - all that repeated failure takes a toll . . .
