I have been having a great deal of difficulty keeping my humidity above 50%. I have installed a hose that brings wet air into the enclosure. But it is not air tight and even tapeing the door seams and totally closing off the screen top, I was reading 49%.

So I took an old water dish filled it with aspen shavings and flooded that with water.

IT WAS AMAZING! Not only did this bring the humidity up to 65%, but Fluffy went straight to it and started rolling in the slush. He splashed it all over the area making a real mess. It looked like he was having a LOT of fun.

My question is should I replace the aspen with moss (softer). And should I clean up the wet aspen that is around the slush bowl?

Is there a high probability of an RI from this set up?
