Thought i'd try to get some help and discussion about how everyone keeps their animals hydrated.
i'm wanting to know about:
1 desert/scrubland species
2 humid area species
3 arboreal
4 burrowing (especially those that seal themselves in and don't seem to care that you've put a water dish out for them!)
5 lazy terrestrials who don't bother hiding
it would be really helpful if people told me their methods of watering slings, juvies, and adults of any species they can think of.
do you rely on prey items to provide water? do you mist? use cricket water?
do slings have tiny water bowls provided? is water poured on substrate when it's dry for certain types?
if anyone even has info for other inverts, that would be great.
obviously a well-supplied water dish is great for adults, but do you water the soil for those that love a bit of moisture? how wet is too wet? how long is a piece of string? am i asking too many questions? are there warning signs of dehydration other than a shrunken abdomen?
anyways, any and all views/opinions/pieces of advice would be appreciated.
