it's because the shed failed to come out of their nostrils, so it's something to take a close look at.

I asked about what you clean the cage with, just in case you were using diluted bleach, or something like that- it's both toxic & very irritating. (I'd want to
get out too, if that were the case...)

Cage temps: does he USE the hot side? does he stay on the "cool" side?
He has been using the cool side more frequently and lately I have rarely found him inside the hot side hide. He used to be in his hot hit all of the time, but not as often now.. He will be laying on top of it or around it.. I turned down the temps two degrees. Im going to let the tub do its thing for an hour or so then check with temp gun before I go to sleep tonight. I do believe it has been a bit warm for him which is strange because everything is on a herpstat which hasnt been touched.. Idk why the temps woud all of a sudden be too hot or have changed.
