Hello all,

I am just trying to decide whether or not I should be using hides in my racks. I have found a couple of threads on here that seem to basically say that if the animal uses it then leave it in and if not remove it.

For the most part my animals are in the hides all day long, I dont think I have an animal that does not use their hide. That being said they have always had hides.

The other threads make it seem like an animal preference, is this truly the case?

I guess I am most concerned about the animals anxiety, i dont want them to stop eating, become overly aggressive, etc.

Does the opacity of the drawer have any effect on this question? How about size of the drawer vs. size of the animal (I assume there is)?

Not sure what information would be necessary to provide for the best answer to this question, if there are any other considerations please let me know and I can provide additional information.

Thanks in advance!
