Okay, I want you to think about it like this. Imagine the enclosure that your BP is in, as it's world and the hide, as it's home. You would not feel very secure if someone kicked you out of your home and forced you to live on the streets. Sure you would eat and sleep. But I bet money your physical and mental health would suffer terribly. I vote put the hides back. If you want to show off your BP, simply lift the hide and take a look or take him/her out.
