yes, your right i have tried a spray bottle, she/he always runs away from it. I've also left a bowl filled with water at the bottom of the cage, but pounamu never uses it, she/he insists on trying to have a bath in her/his small water dish when it suits her/him. All she/he manages to get wet is a lil bit of her/his stomach. Lately i've filled the sink up with lukewarm water and splash it over her/him which seems to work but she/he still doesn't like it.
