You can put them in the fridge and on very hot days they are extra cool for the rats to sit on
You can buy slate and stack it together to make small structures.
The only rocks with natural holes that I can think of are Texas holey rock and Ohko Dragonstone, both of which are pretty pricey and also will alter your gH.
So I see you wrote this almost half an hour ago, so you’ve probably gotten her cooled down by now. But next time you can legit put her in a large bowl and set her in the fridge (door open). I have 2 of these cooling tiles
Thank you! I upgraded him partly because I was so annoyed with how narrow the other tanks were and so hard to do anything with them. The driftwood I got lucky with, but the seiryu stone is a pack from Amazon. Very happy with it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075SB9HRK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The bigger rocks are some slate pieces I got from a little mom and pop shop... something about rivers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072DW7NC4/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My crested geckos sleep almost every day in these:
I feed her twice a week with 3-2 days apart. I also dilute one of those feedings with more water to get her hydrated. She only eate the Mango Superblend by Repashy. Every now and then I'll give her Komodo Jelly pods or Banana Cream Pie Treat Mix by Repashy.
I also have a feeding platform for her that has a large "landing" pad that I place her on so she faces her food and smells it so she can find it easily. She's learned her feeding days now and waits there for me at night. Before the feeding platform I fed her like a baby with a small spoon 😂
use a wet q tip to lightly brush off the shed on the toes, https://www.amazon.com/Zilla-Decor-Rock-Lair-Large/dp/B01N8ZQWF1/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=humid+hide+zilla&qid=1667275737&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-2#customerReviews I would recommend this for a humid hide
it feels light weight but also durable, I'd say it's solid but it's definitely lighter than I thought it would be... i wish it was cheaper but its cute! it came with one feeding bowl, but it's thick plastic so you can just reuse it! zilla mushroom feeding ledge (amazon)

it is very hot where i live year round as well, i got my pigs the “chinchiller” granite stone by Kaytee and they lay on it all the time. it stays cooler than air temp. i imagine any piece of granite tile would work too, from home depot etc.

NO the granite tile, after you chill the tile you can put it in the cage for the ham to lay on. sorry haha

Another vote for the silla rock lair, the large. (kinda has a snail shell shape on the inside) ZILLA Rock Lair Lg https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8ZQWF1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9YGT9JYHG1YCB4AM1G19 filled with wet tan sphagnum moss- not the green, which is dyed and can fuck all the way off.
I think u are talking about the “mushroom ledge” in the beginning of the video, if so, I got it on Amazon!
I put little treats in the bowl that comes w it. They can climb up on to it surprisingly well!
I have 3 T. albos with different attitudes about burrowing.
One will start making intricate burrows right away upon rehousing. She will burrow under her hide and make different branching corridors.
Another will burrow only if she needs a place to hide. If the given hide is sufficient she doesn't bother.
The last one has never burrowed and hardly uses her hide. She likes sitting out on her little slate slab. I lay one flat for each of my terrestrials in case they want to stand on something solid.
Thank you for all the info! Everything seems fine, but I would keep an eye on the white part of the legs and underbelly. If it becomes almost Scarlet and stays like that, it might be red leg, but red leg is a pretty obvious condition, so I wouldn’t worry about missing it if you check every so often. I have a few more questions, sorry! Other than branches does your frog have any place to sit and rest on, like a basking spot? And what’s the temperature in the enclosure? If there isn’t a spot he can sit and sleep in the air, I would really recommend one! That might be the reason he’s been chilling on the ground. I would recommend something like this I have two in my WTFs enclosure and I fill the food dish with water so they can soak somewhere without having to go to the ground. Best of luck, if you have any other questions just let me know!
Buy them the Zilla Rock hide. You can place some Coconut fiber inside and make it a humid hide for shedding.

Are you talking about the drift wood in the center? If so that's just manzanita wood from pine Arizona sourced from my in laws place. The hanging ledge/cave is pretty cool, the inside is fairly large and I stuff it with sphagnum moss so he has a extra moist area if he wants.
I’ve heard of buying one of those mini marble slabs so they can cool down by laying on it?
Amazon I think! It was actually for my crested gecko but she passed away in august sadly. I recently upgraded my leo’s tank and decided to put it in!
Here’s a good link:

I have a DIY rock ledge on one side and a hammock on the other side.
However, I saw a post that mentioned this vertical hide not too long ago.
I would recommend some slate rocks. I bought a box of these and my gecko loves chilling on them.
One or two more hides, a hammock, and plants would be nice too. My gecko loves these bridge hides.
thank you! the slate is from amazon, Natural Slate Stone -1 to 3 inch Rocks for Miniature or Fairy Garden, Aquarium, Model Railroad & Wargaming (2) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071YN2QH8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NEN29P62XJJA0K39YP0Q ! the plants are from various fake succulents i had laying around. you can go to the dollar tree and buy tons of them, just rip the succulent out of its fake potting and boom! however the large cactus in the first pics is from petsmart!
If it’s marine rock, it could leech for a very long time. I’ve had problems with reef tanks that were over a year old and that I thought were stable going weird because the rock decided to kick out some extra little pocket of calcium or whatever.
The only thing that I’d really worry about in your tank, not knowing what else you have in there, is the salt content that the rock could have absorbed from whatever water it was in initially. I’d also be a bit concerned about bio load from dying organisms hiding out on the rock (like that sponge) of it is in fact marine rock. It could, for a short time, overwhelm your filtration.
If those end up being saltwater rocks, you can still get the look with artificial rocks, or if you want to remain natural, lava rocks, slate, and basalt can all be used in freshwater.
You can also find artificial rock that looks almost the same. This is just an example, I have no idea on the quality of this specific manufacturer:
Lifegard Aquatics 10G-Dragon Dragon Rock 10G Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SG29V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_Z5KGKHXNEAZ9W703JE36?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Not sure what type of look you're going for, but dragon stone is pretty nice and this set in particular was a really good buy! I got enough pieces to fill up two 5g and one 7g tanks with some left over. The box was at least 30lbs.
Clean it WELL, it takes a while and is quite messy. You can also take a hammer and chisel to break off chunks you don't want.
I just reread this randomly and I realized I misread your question as you asking about the substrate ahhaha.
I got the rocks from amazon! The title is "Pisces 17lb Seiryu Rock for Aquascaping, Aquariums, Terrariums, Vivariums"
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075SB9HRK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The rocks you can see are called Seiryu stone. (I think they’re imitation as the authentic is impossible to get.) It’s used a lot in aquascaping. To get the height I put some large rocks from the yard in with the gravel before adding soil to take up some space without having to use up more materials. Then compacted the soil on top to make it easier to balance the pieces I selected.
Not all pieces look alike. You kind of have work with what you get. I spent some time playing around with the layout before building this setup. Even then I changed some things afterwards. You can see the difference if you look where the pump is in my post history.
I got it on amazon. It does look great but if its a crested gecko you have i wouldnt recomend it. The cave hide has only one hole so he hasn't entered it once. I even tried removing the top and putting some leaves as to create more exit points but still nothing. Here it is incase you're still interested. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006L10PC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_fhG2Fb3GXC0ZP
Ok I at least feel better that you and the rabbit aren't in danger. Please make sure he doesn't do it again! As someone else said a trim can be acceptable if needed but no more shaving. Some things you can do to help keep the rabbit cool are too get a cooling marble. I think they might be marketed as chinchilla cooling marbles? You can also freeze water bottles and rotate them out so he always has a cold bottle to snuggle with.
