Theses are older pics. I have removed the front clips, or have just left one only. I do use one screw with the threads filed down to act as a stop, see pic below.
After removing the one front stop the hides just slide out.
‘’There must be a stop, otherwise during poking around/exploring mode they get behind the hide and push it forward.
They have not messed in their hides yet, nor shed inside. For that reason I only slide the hides out every few months and wipe them down with a hand wipe.
