3 water dishes and just 10% humidity?
even if the top is open, thats a bit hard for me to believe. measuring humidity is notoriously difficult, temperature is easy, so while cheap thermometers often do their job just fine, even higher priced hygrometers can be off by large margins. my room never gets below 30% except when its really cold outside and im heating. and thats just me, and a window that is partially open all the time, and some plants. it depends on where you live, the local climate, plants in the room also make a difference, but i am inclined to blame the 10% on a broken hygrometer.
that being said, the humidity is probarbly too low, and restricting air flow by adding some cardboard wrapped in aluminium foil to the top is a good idea. if humidity then doesnt go up immediately but stays at 10%, the hygrometer is broken for sure. misting down with a spray bottle also helps, again, if the hygrometer doesnt respond, its broken.
bump up the size of the food items. two guidelines are: the girth of the food item should match the widest girth of the BP, that means the food item will be larger than the head of the BP. the second one, for young BPs like the one you have, requires something like a kitchen scale that measures in grams. you can get them cheaply, a kitchen scale with a bowl that has a resolution of 1 gram or 2 grams and that goes up to 2000 or 5000 grams is just fine. then, the rule for young BPs is 10-15% of the body weight of the BP every 5-7 days. its not set in stone, but it should give you a general idea. mouse pinkies are too tiny. with your BP at 109 grams, a mouse somewhere between 10 and 20 grams will be fine. thats a young adult mouse. BPs dislocate their lower jaw and stretch their neck for every appropriately sized meal, and the food item is always much bigger than the head of the BP, its normal.
The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it. If you disagree, send me a PM.
The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
my favorite music video is online again, its really nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oABEGc8Dus0
