So, Ziggy used to burrow through the bedding and under the water bowl once in a while, but recently it has been happening daily. She spills all the water, turns everything upside down, and I have to clean up the mess. Not so fun... lol
I did a bit of "googling" and found that being under the water bowl could mean that the temperatures could be high. The ambient temperature is around 75 and the hide with the heating pad gets to around 85 which I thought were ideal temperatures, so idk what's going on... Nothing has changed temperature-wise since I have this set-up.
I also saw that maybe the hide could be the problem, being either too big or too small. I changed it recently because she outgrew the old one, but she seems to have enough space to fit comfortably in there. So I don't think that it's too small or too big.
I've been thinking about velcro-ing the water bowl to the bottom of the tank, but what do you guys think could be the problem?
Edit: Also, could humidity be causing this? It's kinda hard keeping the humidity up since I have a screen top... It's usually around 50%
