    Too much time in his hide??

    My bp has been in his hide all week. I havent even seen him come out at night. Should I be worried?

    No, it's typical for a BP to spend most of his time hiding.

    Usually BPs will do this, but maybe he came out of his hide when you were sleeping. They tend to do that, and make their owners worried to make them think they don't come out of their hides

    Your BP could also be shedding, so if you haven't really handled it in this past week I think you should check if it's shedding. BPs will stay in their hides the entire time they are shedding until the day they are ready to shed the skin off.

    I agree, it sounds pretty normal. Just make sure the enclosure is set up right as far as temps,etc.. I've had some that seem to never come out. They would even drag their meals in their hides when fed.
