Read several articles on this over the years, and I'm wondering what's considered to be the best method these days?

Reason I ask is I use the method of placing my animals in a dispoable Glad container with 1/2" of warm water at the bottom, I then mist them to initiate the "wick effect" and leave them in the container until they stop licking their chops or start scratching to get out. I do this 1 to 3 times a week, and keep their indoor and outdoor cages completely dry and free of water.

This method has been working just fine for me for over 3 years, but last night I made the mistake of leaving them in the container and went to bed. Got up this morning and became really worried when I realized I had forgotten about them, only to find them looking fat (well hydrated?), alert and ready to feed. I'm now wondering if an occasional prolonged soak is a good thing.
