keeping substrate wet
keeping substrate wet
Hello! I know that their substrate needs to be kept wet to have the right digging material but since i have like 7 inches deep, only the very top layer stays wet. The rest is totally dry. How do I keep it wet enough all the way through to where they can safely dig?

Re: keeping substrate wet
If you moisten all of the substrate initially it should stay damp enough. Once dry, it takes a little for it to get wet overall again

Re: keeping substrate wet
Aerated pools are the easiest way to keep all your sand moist. An air pump, line, and air-stone keeps your humidity consistently above 80% and keeps the sand moist at the same time.
