Is This Normal?

Good to see you are observational and concerned about your new baby.

I wouldn't worry about this though, I'm sure when he wants to be in his hides he will be. With a lot of the babies I had hatch for me last year, some really preferred being in their hides and others felt okay hanging out in a more open area.

how are you spying on yours to see him moving around? red light? other method?

He's living in a tub, so it's see-through. And he lives in my room, and I'm in my room a good portion of the late afternoon--evening. So when he's being active and exploring, he's very visible.

This is also the third morning he's been here, and I've found him asleep in the same corner every morning

He thinks his hides are for pushing around and climbing on top of at night, instead of hiding in.

so cute!

I found mine on top of his hide this morning before dawn
unfortunately I didn't see him until I opened the tub to change his water

I am not sure who was the more surprised....him or me!

anyway, gonna start thawing a mouse today and give the zombie mouse dance a try tomorrow

I wish mine was in a more central location so I could see him doing stuff...I check on him often but it sounds so cool that you can observe for long periods of time~!

Well, this morning when I woke up, I fully expected the boy to be sleeping in his (so far) "usual" corner--cool side between tub wall & water bowl.

Instead, he's decided that the bestest place to sleep and hide -ever- is under the KRAFT paper. He's so cute.

lol how cute!! it's normal for them to do that since they feel most secure when something is touching all their sides.my baby blood sometimes likes to go under her newspaper for a while.

my Lil Girl does that! She LIVES under the paper. I never see her unless she is coming out to eat or i go in search. She is VERY SHY!

cute!

maybe you could try putting a smaller hide in there to see if he likes it better

mine seems to prefer the way-too-small-hide that is so small that when he coils under it he lifts it right off the floor. it's more of a hat than a hide
