How many hides do you have? It sounds like just one. You should have at least two if you're using a glass viv, one for the warm side and one for the cool side.


If it's too big, she may not use it. She could be in the corner, because two sides of her can touch something (the glass). They like to be very snug in their hides. Here's an example:



I THOUGHT that this was too small when I first received my girls last week. And Adam, who always has a knack of being right (darn him and his experience! LOL!) said that it looked just fine to him and it appeared she liked it too. Well, darned if the girls don't love those hides, and now have figured how to get their whole bodies squished up in there without lifting the hides.

I have two that love the bowls and one that loves the purple box thing (I just picked up from a dollar store and melted an entrance with my solder wand).

If your hide is too big and she can't feel any of it touching her while she's in there, it may not feel secure enough for her. Try adding more hides and going smaller.
