I'm pretty surprised at how quick these are eating.
My last batch didn't start until right at or a little after they were 24 hours old.

Monday is going to be my first lockdown. Humidity increases at lockdown, right?

I'm a bit worried about this batch because my humidity has been all over the place. I've been trying really hard to keep it between 30-40%, but it's gone as high as 70% (for a short period of time) and as low as 16%. The usual low is about 25% during the night (I wake up at 1:30 to add more water to the sponge, and get up between 4:30 - 5). The average humidity is probably around 35%.

Round two is finally starting.

I vote to increase it slightly when you see the first pipper.

I need extremely shallow for the first few days. I am too scared the dummies with swim...even with rocky water.


I clean a million times a day anyways so I don't mind having to refill a shallow dish for now.


I'll switch their water to a regular waterer soon.

My littles go for swims all the time. I just keep enough rocks in there that they don't drown. The heat lamp dries them off fast and keeps the water warm so I don't worry.

Yea that is Trouble when they start kicking. I keep it up on pieces of wood once they have shavings

Theyre standing on it in this shot its taller than a 2x4 maybe a peice of a post 4x4? Still gets shavings in it but not enough to wick it all out. Someone has a hanging idea for these things with a disposable produce net bag

i put mine on 2x8 but still cover shavings with puppy pads.....considered trying to hang it but they have been doing well with it elevated.
