Another thing I've tried and had success with is using a small box and placing the fuzzy or whatever in it for the snake to find, within the tub or whatever you are keeping the hog in...... without worry of substrate contamination. I just leave the pink or fuzzy overnight and usually it's gone by morning.



I tried clear boxes first without success, then I switched to colored boxes, the green works at night, but the purple one works best. I'm sure a completely black box would work also....but the dollar store only had 4 colors.



I drilled the holes instead of using a soldering iron, which accounts for the breaks in the plastic....don't think the Hogs will mind Cutting the door opening was with a razor knife...I just made sure all the sharp edges were gone.
