[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 213519, member: 29323"] If you keep a hisser as a pet. Get some water gel. As they drown in water. You can use cotton wool, but that is prone to bacteria growth. I have a colony, so I buy the gel dry & mix it up myself. But you can also buy it premade from most good petshops. Mine also LOVE those small jelly pots. They also need fruit & I also feed cheap supermarket porridge & cheap poundland flaked fish food & again they love the flaked fish food. I do not keep my hissers on substrate & I give their enclosure a thorough clean every couple of weeks. Taking everything, including the hissers out & cleaning everything. If you spot small white mites on a hisser, do not worry. These are friendly mites & help to keep the hissers clean & thus they help prevent us, from having an allergic reaction to bacteria on the hissers. In the UK if you want them to breed they need extra warmth & then they breed like crazy. But other than during a very warm summer, they tend not to breed in the UK. So you can control how many you have by controlling the temperature. [/QUOTE]
