Small Animal Hideaways

Why does my hamster sleep in the corner when I’ve provided her a hide out? I got her a bin cage and the first night she used the hide out then started pushing it out the corner and sleeping right next to it. She also stuffs the hide out with bedding. I try to encourage her to use it but taking the bedding out but she just stuffs it back.

I am setting up a new habitat for my 2 sibling gerbils. I want it to be as natural of a habitat as their ancestors in the wild live in. Which substrate would you recommend that would be as natural as they would receive in their desert environment?

I have a new Ball Python that eats allright, but it stays in it's hide all the time, day and night. I keep the temperature gradient consistant. The hide is the black square with a hole in one end. I feed him in a separate clear habitat. The substrate is aspen bedding wich, consists of perfectly square 3mm pieces that stick to every thing it comes in contact withincluding the snake wich is covered. I have to mist more than seven times a day to keep the humidity above 40%. One quart at a time.

Is this a good setup for Nighthawk, the first photo is the over all setup, the second one is the side view and the third is the water and calcium dishes. I use an under tank heater that stays at about 88 degrees Fahrenheit and the vines are fake. He has a warm hide and a cold hide with moss in it that’s i spray down every other day. The little box is another little hide that I can see him in. And the background is tile it paper rolls that were painted(they were left to dry for two weeks)

I am taking care of my gfs cat on my own for a while. Its my first night. I have a very small house and the cat is pissed and has t established a hiding space yet. What should i do?

Soon, I'm moving my rabbits inside but my rabbits are afraid of the inside. So how could I make their transition as easy as possible

What is the best bedding for my rabbit

She always sleeping or out of sight . I rarely see her out and when I do it’s been early in the mornings or I’ll hear her on her wheel a few minutes at night.. she lives in a 40 gallon breeder tank that’s got great venalation and chew toys,treats,sand bath, etc everything she could ever want!. Any idea why she isn’t very active? Any way I can help her to be more active?

So I took in a stray that is at least five years old and has rather obviously had it rough. I am keeping him segregated and also set up a cat condo for him in said room, which he tends to stay in, sleeping (the condo, I mean). I bought him this nice, plush self warming bed that he is absolutely rejecting. Seriously, he'd rather sleep on bare floor than this bed. But he'll rub on it and lean against it to sleep. Why does my guy hate his bed? *note, I have provided him with soft blankets he loves.

What should I get for a year old rabbit? I’m a first time small pet owner & haven’t brought Mello (pet) home yet because I’m afraid I don’t have everything I need. I’m ordering hay, bedding, pellets & a litter box as well as an outdoor play pen. My friend is giving me a cage.

I have a pitbull/bulldog mix that stays outside who is allergic to cedar bedding and pine is there a hypoallergenic bedding for outside animals?

So I recently posted a pic of my hamsters new set up. People said that CritterTrail is too small for her. She has two cages and then tubes connecting them. She runs in her ball for 4 hrs a day with a break each hour for water and food. Should I make her a bin cage or keep the CritterTrails cage?
