Should I have a "hide"?

[ToughPrincess]

I am concerned that my beardie doesn't have somewhere to get away from me. I want to get a hide but I don't know which to get. I don't want to pay $30 for one, and if there are any DIY ideas I'd love to hear them.

BLAHHHH:
She loves to look out her 55 gallon tank and is on her 'log' leaned against the wall under her light ALL THE TIME. She comes off it to eat and play and goes straight back on. Even when she's sleeping. I had a cute little "bed" in there with fleece and her undertank heater (it hardly got warm) and she never went in it. She'll run over to claw on the glass and stand in her water dish but nothing else.

I'm not sure whether a hide is required, but maybe someone else will come along who does know! I know they do prefer/require a hide when brumating though.
I just use a shoebox, and I think a lot of other people do too. Or any beardie-sized box would work. Just turn it upside down, and cut or fold a little "doorway" on one end so they can get in.
I made one for my big guy when I moved him to my house, but I don't think he touches it lol. I got the "Really, Mom??" look when I set it in his viv, and haven't seen him in it so far
