I've put small bits of damp sponge in mine just re-damp them morning and evening seems to be working well!

Yes, you should be able to get the humidity to 70% with a larger dish of water.

Get a sponge Lynne and put it in a container with water in it, should do the trick.

Thanks Kay I will try that. It has been around 72 until lately has dropped a bit. I have 3 eggs on day 69 & would like to increase it for a few days to try & encourage these to hatch.

Most of two shelves are now just water containers! but I will add a sponge.
