Hello everybody
I know this is a silly and obvious question, just add water, but there's more.
A little over a year ago I bought a baby B. smithi, and thinking within a few weeks or so it would be full size, I bought a few bricks of this (not that specific auction) - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171526053133
But I haven't needed it yet because my sling is still tiny and doesn't need a massive cage/home yet, so he still lives in a tiny thing that doesn't need much substrate. Just after I got him, somebody on here was kind enough to send me some bark pieces and quite a lot of substrate in a bag that was ready to use, so until now I have been using that every time I clean out my 8 leg friend's home. I have now run out of the substrate I got for free and am now about to use one of my bricks. But what shall I do??
Because my sling is still insanely small, he still lives in a plastic container thing, so I really don't need that much substrate., so I don't want to be 'activating' all of this brick, because apparently it turns into like 8L of substrate that I don't have the room or containers to store.
So what should I do? Just rip some of the brick off and add (how much) water to it?
Thank you
