[QUOTE="NatashaG, post: 85346, member: 5331"] It's more that I want to take him out of the hide he has there now, because it really is too small. I know that they can get into tiny little spaces and such, but he is even struggling to turn around in it, so for me, right now, I want to take it out so that he at least has a bit more space. I wasn't sure when I read that most dont need a hide, as I feel a lot better with him having somewhere that he can go back to, and I'm currently on the hunt for a more shallow hide. If anyone has any recommendations, then I would be more than interested in hearing them. Zoltan is very skittish at the moment, and I mean all the time. I know he has recently moulted, he has eaten fine since then and is in otherwise perfect health. Before his moult, he was not fussed about being out, and I would often find him outside of his house, and he wouldn't mind when I would have a good look at him. But now he never leaves his hide (And even bolts to the back of his enclosure when I just sit down in front of his tank) and this is the problem that I am having with it. If he is in there all the time, I want him to have enough space. T he disposition issue kind of made sense to me, in a way that if they were used to being out in the open all the time, they would become more used to everyday noises and things like opening the tank. But I do feel that i'm more happy if I provide him with at least somewhere to hide away if he needs to. [/QUOTE]
