Same here. I always got to get Junior out of his hide. I start out messing with his water and check the empty hide for poo. Then I pic up the hide he's under and I start rubbing his back first then I'll get him out and I have no probems. When I put him back in he usually makes a round his tank then goes back into his hide.
