As long as he isn't being too persistent to where he is rubbing his skin raw, and his temps and humidity are good, I wouldn't be too worried about it, it will pass.

Double check all your parameters. If you are having a bad delay getting the correct size hide, I agree cutting the current one is probably your best bet, or even just cutting a hole in an empty food tub like cream cheese comes in or maybe a bit bigger depending how big your little guy is.
He does rub his nose quite alot, but surprisingly it's not damaged yet. Some of his scent should be left though, since i still use the same tub, i just added fresh new substrate, took out his waste, washed his water bowl and his cave, took out the cardboard boxes i added as temporary hides that he didn't care to use, and put the log and decorations in. I want to make the log as similar as possible to his old one, so i will have to modify it quite a bit, just need to get something that will cut it well. The thing i worry about the most is his food refusal, since he always has been a very good eater but he is still pretty thin.. I don't know if he'll end up being so hungry that he won't be able to reject the food anymore, or he'll just let himself die. I don't know how hardy BP's are, and that's why every little problem makes me hella nervous.
