Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jess S" data-source="post: 161664" data-attributes="member: 29302">I do that with the bigger ones because they've got bigger airholes. Using a pipette, same sort of size as a syringe. The slings' enclosures were a bit more tricky due to the little airholes. Where I've tried before, any water I managed to trickle in went the wrong way and most immediately pooled up my side of the enclosure. After your suggestion I thought why not try again. I had a rethink using other slings enclosures and have now discovered that if I place the pipette end as flush as possible on the airhole above and give a good hard squeeze, it works!Oh, and the auratum made it back down ok, phew. It's got more water now so all I can say is lesson learned! Actually, I need to renew at least 2 waterdishes, which empty over a day, so must have a little pinhole type leak somewhere.</blockquote>
