PT2852 Reptile Cave Medium

She is currently 140g. At what weight should I conciser moving her into a larger hide?

Until she starts wearing it as a hat lol. You'll know when it's too small for her. Keep her in it as long as possible, mine actually prefer hides that are just slightly too small for them....not sure why lol.

x2 my mojo prefers a smaller hide but he is now wearing his as a hat and I have his new ones on their way.

I have my female YB using those hides still, and she's at just about 450 g! :O She still fits in them, so I think you'll be okay with them for quite some time :P

at about 525-550 they start lifting those hides off of the bottom of the cage. Thats what my mojo male is doing now. and all of my hides are of that series. I have 2 of the biggest size in with my older male and the one you are using in will all my others since they are still rather young.

I only think about upgrading hide size literally when they no longer fit in it and, like said by others, they wear it as a hat rather than being inside it.

I used to have a Pastel that loved his hat. I think it was more like a security blanket for him. I tried several times to upgrade him with a larger hide, but each time, he would quit eating, refuse to use the hides, and cram himself into his water bowl. As soon as I would put the smaller hide back in, he would go right back under it, or at least as much of himself that would fit...
