Change substrate. If you have enough holes, and all that then the substrate is holding too much water. Either replace it with dried out cypress multch or newspaper/paper towel.

and if you prefer something that will stay dryer that they can still burrow in, try carefresh. I don't use it right now because I currently use mesh cages, but when i get the new cages set up, i'm going back to it. It's great for scent and they love burrowing in it. But it does dry the air, so it'd be good in a cage that has a lot of humidity. IMO
