Hey folks, I'm wondering what can be done about this worsening predicament...

Ever since putting crumpled newspaper on the bottom of our BP's tank a month or so ago, he stopped his incessant roaming and been hiding and eating perfectly fine. I'm quite happy to leave them as a permanent fixture in there. HOWEVAH...

During his nocturnal roamings, he rearranges the newspaper and they end up hanging inside the water dish, soaking up the water, getting soggy, and transferring that water to the substrate (newspaper and paper towel). Last night I filled the dish (about 3/4 cup worth?) and this morning it was literally dry, with the substrate quite soggy.

The only thing I can think of is to remove the newspaper each night. He really likes it covering the doorway of the hides, though. Anything else I can do?
