Obsessed with humid hide?

lostkauze Mar 21, 2004 03:10 PM

Yesterday I rejoined my 2 females in a new 20 long. They've had humid hides before, just rarely used them. Now, however, they wont leave them. Last night, before I went to sleep, they were both snuggled together in the humid hide, when I woke up, there they were. They remained in it all day today until about an hour ago.

Mind you one is shedding, but I found it slightly odd to be so secure and happy in a humid hide.

I guess this is kind of a story, but if you feel the need to interject and explain these behaviors, go right ahead.

They felt more scere in hide box because they are in new Home or about to shed. Some of mine females stay in humid box all time only comes out is to eat.

I always move stuff around and buy new stuff in my cage. My 4 year old choses places to sleep, she'll sleep in one hide none stop for about a month then chose another favorite place. Dunno why, but she likes to change it up.
Just recently she moved from her hot humid hide to the upstairs hide.
