What should I put in bottom to Fill Line in the Sims egg container for incubation?

I use a vermiculite and water mixture and don't worry about the ratio much except to make sure it's good and moist without sloshing around. It works great for me, S.I.M's are pretty much fool proof.

I'm sure Gregg will chime in pretty soon.

I USE VERMICLITE ,seems to work good
but you do have to use a water to mix
other wise the vermiclite is to
dry ,you can find this at LOWES
OR a farm and garden store near
you .
GOOD LUCK

I use a celluose sponge material... It is easy to use, does not mold or hold bacteria because of its antimicrobeal properties...

Just soak it, ring it out untile very little water comes out, place it in the SIM and you are all set...

You can also use damp perlite, or vermiculite
