I have just got my Hermann and he is now asleep in his hide for the night. But dose he need any hay or straw in with him?

No, hay and straw is very drying. He should have whatever substrate you are using in the rest of the enclosure. Which, hopefully is not hay or straw.

I use organic potting soil from Home Depot. It holds moisture well underneath, but the top stays dry. It's firm enough for her to walk in very comfortably but still soft enough for her to dig down into and even bury herself when she wants.
