*sigh* just when I thought I was being nice..

... I went and bought a package of Spaghnum moss, for Aries hides, because well i figured she would like it better than the paper towel, and it would hold moisture better...
Her hides are a coconut shell on one end and a cave-looking thing on the cooler end.. they dont have bottoms, cause I bought one with a bottom on it and she wouldnt use it cause it wasnt her normal hide.. yea she's picky.
Either way.. this morning I got up, after hearing her usual rustlings all nite.. and saw her in her humid hide, with only her tail sticking out... but while i was getting ready for work, she started kicking all the moss out..
*sigh* i'm not really asking for advice, just... yea you think you're being nice and all... and they just dont appreciate it hahah

I try to change the old rags that he has in his humid hide for some coconut bark (better hold humidity and more natural). He got in, got out and never go back until i put his old rags back ! lol....I think that maybe they dont like changes.

Some of my leos like the moss because it allows them to dig and make piles/slopes to use as headrests. A good way to see what she really prefers is to offer her two humid hides placed at the same temp and see which medium she uses more.
