Question tort proofing plants

hi everyone

i've tried everything to tort proof my plants in there indoor enclosure but so far no luck.

anything i've tried they've managed to knock/pull over and completely destroy. I really want something in to brighten up there enclosure but they seem set on demolishing them, i have to give them 10 out of 10 for effort because some have been really heavy

What plants have you been using? I had the same problem until I started putting in plants that, although safe for her to eat, she just isn't really interested in. Some of these I have found are Jade plant (aka money plant/tree), spider plants and I have at the moment an upright geranium I got from the reduced section at B&Q which luckily she doesn't seem interested in eating but enjoys a snooze in the shade under

Bromalades are tort friendly and they don't eat them and are really pretty too. Babies grow round it when the mother plant dies. I had 12 from one plant.
