Do you really need small hides in hatchling racks?

I usually don't with the majority of hatchling hatchlings and than there are the special cases that need a little extra security even in a 6 quarts tub (those are rare).

So I would say you will likely not need them just have a few just in case for the exceptions.

This is pretty much what I've noticed with mine also. Only in very rare cases with babies need hides in a 6qt tub.
