Default Re: Living in Tubes

Personally I would take the tubes off until he sets ap a proper nest and store in an appropriate airy place.
Unfortunatly they do like to sleep in the tubes but they lack ventilation and soon get bunged up with bedding and food. The condensation from their breath tends to make them damp and this can cause mould to grow and give them chest infections. The food gets damp and mouldy and can go bad upsetting the tummy and if their fur is damp they can chill easily.
Once they have a settled bed area they normally stay there and don't go back in the tubes.
