Cpramsey, thanks for answering in my absence my friend.



Brocknjen, they are dish washer safe. The body grid and rails are microwave safe but the lids are not. The best way to clean them after they are used is to just use hot water with some dish soap and a soft sponge.



For the substrate, you can use just about any water retaining substrate and ratio does not matter much. The fact that the eggs are suspended over the substrate means that the eggs are not sitting in the wet substrate.



My personal favorite substrate to use is sponge. It is clean and anti microbial and is easy to use. Just soak the sponge, ring it out and put it in the SIM. That easy.



Temps for incubating hogs varies. I prefer 82 degrees. Eggs incubate for 50 to 55 days at that temperature.



Hope this helps and thanks for buying a SIM.



Gregg
