Sold Individually Choose exactly how many pieces your design needs instead of paying for a fixed bundle you may not use. Selected by nature, not manufactured No Two Pieces Are Ever the Same MiniWoods are genuine natural materials. Your piece may be straight, twisted, forked, hollow, knotted, weathered, pale, dark or dramatically asymmetrical. These variations are not defects—they are precisely what make the collection so useful and beautiful. Order one for a subtle focal point or combine several varieties for an environment that looks naturally collected over time. MiniWoods questions Before You Build Are the exact pieces shown the ones I will receive? No. Product photos represent the general assortment. Because every MiniWood is natural, the exact colour, dimensions, texture and shape will vary. Are MiniWoods sold as a set? Each variety is sold individually so you can choose the exact quantity and combination your design requires. Which MiniWoods can be used in aquariums? Malaysian Driftwood, Mopani, Spiderwood and Cholla Wood Minis may be used in aquariums after appropriate preparation. Grapewood Minis are for terrestrial habitats only and must not be used in aquariums. Do natural aquarium woods release tannins? They may. Tannin release varies by wood and individual piece. Pre-soaking, boiling where appropriate and water changes can reduce visible amber colouring when clear water is preferred. Which varieties are best for jumping spiders? Spiderwood offers fine branching routes, Grapewood provides knotted perches and Cholla adds fibrous texture and web-anchor opportunities. Any piece must be securely positioned and appropriately sized for the individual animal. Your habitat deserves better than ordinary décor Choose Your MiniWoods.Build Something Wild.
