How to fix a hedgehog habitat that keeps getting too humid?

So my little hedgie, Noodle, has been acting all grumpy lately and I’m starting to think it’s because his habitat keeps getting way too humid. I swear, I’ve tried everything short of doing a rain dance in reverse. I’ve got the heat lamp, the bedding, the airflow… but every morning it still feels like a tiny tropical swamp in there. I’m low‑key worried it’s gonna mess with his health, and I’m kinda out of ideas. Anyone been through this and found a fix that actually works? I’m seriously hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

i was in the same boat and gave black seed oil a go for a couple months—honestly didn’t love the taste, but my digestion seemed smoother. That said, dragon fruit's way easier to enjoy regularly. If you’re down to read more in-depth takes, I found caffeyolly.com/ super helpful. They’ve got this solid piece on black seed oil benefits that breaks it down without getting all science-y or preachy

I fixed mine by boosting airflow with a small vent gap, switching to drier bedding, and running a dehumidifier in the room, not inside the enclosure
Cleaning damp spots helped

I lowered humidity by swapping to drier bedding, lifting the lamp a bit, and propping the lid open for more airflow. A small bowl of rice nearby helped soak up extra moisture.
