Lichen Branches (50g)

Lichen Branches — Stunning Natural Décor & Enrichment for Bioactive Setups

Lichen Branches are a beautiful natural bioactive terrarium supply for terrariums and isopods that brings a touch of the wild into your vivarium. Covered in striking, textured lichen, these branches are not just visually stunning — they're a fantastic enrichment item for isopods and other bioactive inhabitants. The lichen provides a natural foraging surface and food source, while the branches themselves offer climbing opportunities, shelter, and organic matter as they slowly break down.

Each bag contains 50g of lichen-covered branches.

Why Isopods & Millipedes Love Lichen Branches

• Natural foraging surface — The lichen covering provides a rich, textured surface that isopods and millipedes will actively graze on, picking at the lichen, biofilm, and organic matter that develops.
• Natural food source — Lichen is a nutritious organic material that isopods readily consume, adding variety and enrichment to their diet.
• Shelter & hides — Branches create natural climbing and sheltering structures within the enclosure, giving your colony more surface area and refuge.
• Drives the decomposition cycle — Perfect for clean-up crews and healthy ecosystems, feeding beneficial bacteria, fungi, and microfauna as they slowly break down.
• Stunning aesthetics — Few natural decorations are as visually striking as lichen-covered branches, adding an instantly wild, woodland feel to any vivarium.
• 100% natural & chemical-free — Dried and ready to use straight from the bag.

Great for Reptiles & Amphibians

• Lizards & geckos — Lichen branches are ideal climbing and perching structures for arboreal species such as crested geckos, day geckos, and chameleons, adding naturalistic enrichment and visual complexity to their vivarium.
• Dart frogs & tree frogs — The lichen surface retains moisture and supports the microfauna that dart frogs and tree frogs depend on. Branches add three-dimensional structure to tropical vivarium builds.
• Salamanders & newts — Provide naturalistic shelter and foraging surfaces for terrestrial salamander species.
• Snakes — Lichen branches add naturalistic structure and enrichment to bioactive snake enclosures, encouraging natural exploratory behaviour.

Great for Aquariums & Aquatic Setups

• Paludariums — Lichen branches are a stunning hardscape element for the terrestrial and riparian zone of paludarium builds, adding height, texture, and naturalistic structure.
• Shrimp tanks — Dwarf shrimp such as Neocaridina and Caridina will graze on the biofilm that develops on submerged or partially submerged lichen branches.

Great for Small Pets

• Hamsters, gerbils & mice — Lichen branches add naturalistic climbing and foraging enrichment to small rodent enclosures, encouraging natural exploratory behaviour.
• Rats — Rats are highly intelligent and enjoy interacting with and climbing natural branch structures. Lichen branches add enrichment and interest to their environment.

Great for Invertebrates

• Tarantulas & scorpions — Add naturalistic structure and climbing enrichment to bioactive tarantula and scorpion enclosures.
• Stick insects & mantids — Lichen branches provide ideal perching and climbing structures for stick insects and mantids, replicating their natural arboreal environment.
• Hermit crabs — Branches add climbing enrichment and organic matter to hermit crab enclosures.

Great for Birds

• Parrots — Lichen branches make wonderful natural perches and foraging enrichment items for parrots, encouraging natural chewing and beak conditioning behaviour.
• Finches, canaries & budgies — Natural branch perches are far superior to plastic alternatives, supporting healthy foot and beak condition in small birds.
• Planted & bioactive aviaries — Lichen branches add a beautifully wild, woodland aesthetic to aviary builds, providing perching, foraging, and nesting enrichment for aviary inhabitants.
