Hi everyone,

I am like most folks in the winter, keeping a close watch on the humidity in my glass BP cages. I have learned from my new adult BP (Nico) that she likes to soak in the water dish. I originally didn’t have a dish big enough so I went to the store and bought her a punch bowl to soak in. She barely fits in it, but she loves it! – This also had another desired side affect, it raised the humidity to a constant 67% from 37%.

I’d like to put a large bowl like this in my baby ball’s (Muffin) cage to raise her humidity, but I’m terrified that she might accidentally fall in and drown. She never soaks in her water dishes. I have 2 humid hides in her cage along with 2 water dishes, misting daily, and it’s still not enough – Poor Muffin. So when Nico came along, and I added the punchbowl of water, it seemed to make a substantial and sustainable difference in humidity.

Is it possible that I could be putting my baby ball Muffin at risk for drowning by adding such an enormous body of water in her cage?

I’d love to hear all replies and suggestions. This humidity issue is my number one source of frustration and concern for my precious animals.

Thanks for reading my post, sorry if this should go under 'husbandry'
