    Exclamation Digesting in cool hide? Should I move him?

    Hi guys, so it is finally feeding day and after dropping a F/T fuzzy in front of the cool hide where he was lying, Shesha finally took interest and dragged it into the hide with him (after trying to no avail to swallow it butt first). He is now sitting very still in his cool hide so he either finished eating it or gave up on it, I am keeping it dark in the room to avoid disturbing him but he does not seem to be relocating to the warmer hide. I am concerned that he will not have adequate belly heat to digest. The hot hide is at a stable 90 give or take a degree measured by digital thermometer probe on the glass and regulated by a thermostat so I know it is not too hot (though the hide is a bit larger on the hot side). The ambient temp is 80. Until last night he had never used his cool hide but of course he developed a preference for it the day before feeding. What would you suggest, will he be ok if he decides to stay in the cool hide all night? Should I switch the hides and encourage him to go into the smaller one on the warm side to digest? Really not sure what I should do here. I don't want to disturb him but I don't want to leave him in a situation that may result in a regurg now that he has finally eaten. Any help would sure make me sleep better tonight. Thanks guys.
