Hey everybody,
I have a ten year old ball for whom I recently made a wooden, polyurethane sealed hide box. I use it for the warm side of his enclosure to replace the shoe boxes that frequently required replacement. My problem is that he now avoids the warm side, which used to be his preferred hang out spot, in favor of the cardboard hide on the cooler side. the polyurethane still emits a slight odor, but its harmless and id think he would get used to it by now. Any ideas on this one? hide box is approximately same size as a shoe box. i washed it to remove any excess polyurethane.
thanks
