My mali is improving.He used to go into his hide 2-3 hours before I turned the lights off but now he stays out the whole time and tolerates me watching him.I think it is partly because I put a huge rock in his cage that he never leaves.He doesn't even sleep in his hide now.But he still flips out when I put my hand in his cage he always flicks his tail and I flinch and smack my elbow on the glass.EVERY TIME.lol
