"He gets the hump". What does that mean?
"You put in fresh hay and he won't go in for an hour". What do you mean he won't go in? Don't you just put him in when you are done?
You need to find a way to keep the hay off the damp substrate.

What ? ?Over hear hump is a small bump or interourse so when you say humpy we thought it was the tortoise and the shoe again. Imagine a frisky male tortoise and lonely shoe ini ts enclosure. Nature is brutal
ThanksHump-y means something quite different in the U.S. ROFL

Hay can be dusty and will mold. I would use it only sparingly as a small food pile for species that eat grasses.
