I would like to know if there is evidence of a hide box in a tub benefiting the animal or is it just aesthetically pleasing to us. For example I have some tubs with hides in them and some tubs without. Some of the tubs I have with hides never get used while other ones are always in use. I'm 50/50 on the subject of hides in tubs for this reason. The tubs I have without hides in them is simply because after months of the animals not using them I take it upon myself to remove said hide. Was that the right choice? Should I put it back even tho the animal seems to thrive without it? Does it solely depend on that specific animal? Im excited to hear feedback on these types of questions.
