[QUOTE="kormath, post: 112577, member: 4199"] But we don't scale them up, they live in burrows in the wild with sticks and twigs and grass/weed/tree roots in them without scaling those up to our size. So a few strands of coconut fiber the thickness of a hair or so is nothing. ;) The sponge/foam retains moisture, where the dish will dry out. So mold/bacteria/etc. will grow on/in the foam/sponge much faster than on the surface of a water dish. [/QUOTE]
