They'll get almost all the moisture they need from the prey, the water bottle cap is used to help regulate humidity. You won't need to mist the enclosure with a cap of water inside, unless it's really dry where you are like [USER=4151]@Phil[/USER] said. Just put it on the "floor" and keep it full. Put a pebble or something inside to help hold it down and that will give something for the crickets to climb on if they go in the water so they don't drown.

Like the others said the cross ventilation is key. If it were me i'd use a 1/16" drill bit and drill a few dozen (or maybe just a dozen really ) holes for ventilation opposite the screen in that enclosure.

Welcome to the forum! love those little tiny avics

[QUOTE="kormath, post: 88033, member: 4199"] They'll get almost all the moisture they need from the prey, the water bottle cap is used to help regulate humidity. You won't need to mist the enclosure with a cap of water inside, unless it's really dry where you are like [USER=4151]@Phil[/USER] said. Just put it on the "floor" and keep it full. Put a pebble or something inside to help hold it down and that will give something for the crickets to climb on if they go in the water so they don't drown. Like the others said the cross ventilation is key. If it were me i'd use a 1/16" drill bit and drill a few dozen (or maybe just a dozen really ;)) holes for ventilation opposite the screen in that enclosure.
