Can you add ventilation to the bin? Increased airflow may help keep the humidity down.

We added ventilation. We cut out the top of the lid and glued flyscreen over the hole. But they still kept dying.

They may require further vents in this case then. Maybe some side vents or a dehumidifier/desiccant of some sort nearby to lower the humidity around the bin. Perhaps trying to offer some dry oats instead of fresh veges for a bit may help. The oats may pull some of the humidity (and turn it into feed/hydration). Just thinking aloud though.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
