[QUOTE="Poec54, post: 38826, member: 3524"] What works for many of in the US for Avic slings is a 16 oz deli cup with several rows of small holes near the top, an inch of dry substrate, a piece of plastic plant (and cork if you want), and a small water bowl. The lid can be partially peeled back if there's silk at the top. I use forceps for cage maintenance. Avics are used to things drying out up in the trees where they live and are very sensitive to moist, stuffy cages. That often kills them. Moist substrate can be a death sentence for them. There should never be condensation. Versi slings usually spin a silk sheet in their cage pretty quickly, I've had some start within minutes. With any Avic sling, the more anchor points for spinning the better. I mist my 2nd instar Avic slings once a week or so, very lightly, and only on the silk sheet/tube, for drink, not humidity. After a few sheds, I don't mist at all. At around a 2" legspan, I move them into 32 oz deli cups, with the same set up inside. [/QUOTE]
