Pyramiding of Shell (humid hides)
I'm not sure if I've put this in the right area, but found this info and thought is was interesting. Obviously research was only carried out over the space of 5 months so can't really be classed as conclusive but thought some other people might find it of interest too.

Is the sponge wet or dry and do you put anything in the bottom of the butter tub? |

Thats how I read it too, and five months is no time at all. When they can say the same in thirty years time, it might be useful.

My little Hermann's are loving theirs and they have a "dry" alternative which is ignored.
This might expalin the theory behind humid hides http://www.graeca-home.de/Krueger%202008%20e.pdf Last edited by Kirkie; 24-01-2009 at 02:45 PM. |
