Use paper towels to collect poop, change every couple of days or sooner if needed.

In order to keep temps warm for the baby in the tub... i used a ceramic heater at night (winter time) and heat lamp for daytime, both were on dimmers to regulate temps. As for misting you can see I used a domed tub... mist on one side... water drains through holes made in the photos above...

Nice setup Kevin.

Ive gotten by just watering twice daily and sometimes even just once with babies while working. The key to keeping them hydrated with only being able to mist once or twice is making sure they get well hydrated during the misting sessions and keeping the humidity up. Keeping the humidity at a decent level will allow the water to stay collected on leaves longer giving the chams more ops to drink.
