Sponge in the hide

[Isa]

Hello

Yesterday I went to the pet store to buy some non toxic acquarium sillicone to glue a sponge to one of Hermy's hide but they are out of stock. Does anyone know what kind of non toxic glue can I use?

Thanks

You should be able to use any non water soluble glue to attach the sponge Isa.

You should be able to find silicone at Home Depot.

Yes they have aquarium silicone at Home Depot, lowes and you could use a hot glue gun too.-Doesn't last as long but it works.

I didn't glue mine, but instead drilled a hole through the hide and stuck l long bolt through. Then I pushed the sponge onto the bolt and secured with a washer and nut. This way I can easily change the sponge when needed. This works really well and no glue!

Thanks for the advices everyone

I'm sorry, but why are you putting a sponge in? I've never heard of that before. Is it for humidity?

 

[Crazy1]

Kayti, Yes it is for humidity. Some people use damp moss instead of a sponge. Now the thinging is that humidity has a part to play in pyramiding. So offering a humid hide helps stop pyramiding.

I just learned that! I've been using paper towels, but they dry out incredibly fast. Do sponges last longer?
And aren't there nasty chemicals in sponges?
Thanks!
