How big is your water dish? I put in a larger (5 x 12 x 4" deep) dish and got another 10 percent. Granted the dish (rubbermaid) is BIG, but man winter is DRY DRY DRY! This way I can help out during shed time by simply using a bigger dish. No misting, no adjusting of my humidifier, etc. Been looking in albums and I see a few really small water dishes. Give it a try, you know curiosity will getcha :wink:
