Hi-
Is this a DIY mister or did you buy a kit? It is best to place the nozzle in the center top of the cage, and should mist the whole cage. Hope this helps!

if diy means do it yourself then yes and i made it using a a link from your site and it is working quite nicely. i also remember you saying that you had yours set up so you don't have to refill it and i was wondering how you did that.

Hi-
Well I don't cup feed indoors but do outdoors. The cups are the "cricket runs" that Bill wrote about in the E-zine. They have a hole in the bottom for the water to drain out of, but indoors this would be a problem. I would try moving the cup and a plant/tree to protect the cup from filling with water and keeping the mist on the leafs of the plant/tree. Hope this helps!

Ah, one of the problems with feeder dishes! It is sometimes hard to fix this. I've tried making a small arched roof suspended over my feeder dish, but you have to make sure the cham can still see into the dish and shoot clearly from a distance. Try using a larger dish that you can tip...letting any spray collect at one end of the dish and laying a small twig there so insects can climb out of the water. You could also put a piece of screen mesh in the dish bottom for drainage.

Hi-
Yes I do have my indoor mister set up this way. It would take me a long time to type up how exactly how it is set up, so I cant help you there, and if it is a DIY then you can not use the setup I have because I use a kit. Hope this helps!
