Posted - 25/10/2011 : 19:01:38 Hi guys, I posted a while back about my corn spending all her time in the cool hide, well after all your advice( good I may add) she's still there, I swapped hides which incidentally were exactly the same anyway, dropped the warm side temp from (28.5-29) to (28-28.5). Why does she stay there? The cool end fluctuates from around 20-22 and as low as 19 at night,she even digests in the cool hide! Should I try dropping the temp more? Or is she ok to spend all the time in cool end? |

Hehe, must be a Snow thing then. Lister is exactly the same! All the others use the hot end for digesting, but he's always just sat in the cold end xD But, likewise, he poops fine, has never regurged or anything, so I don't care, he knows what he needs :)
Same. She never refuses a meal, poops fine, sheds fine and looks and feels fine, so I don't give it a second thought now.
Except I begrudge the fact I'm paying to heat a mat that almost never gets used! lol |

My snow corn is the same. I've had her 6 months now, and hardly EVER have I seen her in the warm. But she's perfectly healthy so I stopped worrying about it.
