Laura,
Could bee it's too cool in the caves, or too hot - take out the old
thermometer and measure it in there. Also, it seems like leopards like
moisture in their hiding spots. Is the old one also available? If you give
them enough choices keeping in mind a temperature gradient they will choose
the one that's most comfortable to them.
Good luck, and don't worry.
Steve
