Not using Humid Hide as much?

[Jay_Bunny]

I've noticed Chibi is not using her humid hide as much. She is eating fine and is looking rather plump (and is gaining weight), but she is using the hide a lot less. I mist it everyday.

One factor could be the lighting. I switched to using a 75watt infared bulb instead of the day light and moon bulb. It was just too much of a hassle switching the two in the morning and evening. So now she just has the infared bulb on all the time. It helps with keeping the temp constant.

Could this be contributing to her decreased use in the hide?

it may be that the bulb you are using now doesn't dry out the air in the cage as much so she doesn't feel the need to go where there is extra humidity. if she needs it, she will go into the humid hide.

I wouldnt worry about it much, just make sure to have it in the cage at all times..
