Hi

You can get the best hides at Dollarama or Dollar Tree. The gift boxes they sell are very sturdy, come in all sorts of sizes and even have seasonal themes! I've been using them with Theodore and they work great. He has three different sizes at his disposal. I take the box, flip it upside down and cut a nice hole in it leaving about 1 inch around the edge. I then put the lid over this cut-out and have it as the top of the hide. This makes for quick and easy checking-cleaning. I then cut a door or two into the sides depending on where its going and plant the box in the substrate. A bendy bridge over the door adds some extra hiding space and all is good! Nice thing is that these boxes only cost a dollar or two depending on the size.
