Great for Dubia
This is great for Dubia. I use it in my colony cage and in my feeder cage. It works extremely well! Way better than pillows or the water crystals. It is a little expensive, but not too bad if you can find a sale. Plus, the other options for dubia are annoying to deal with. This is simple: you just dump some into the little mesh boat with some Cricket feed and itâs perfect! A little bit lasts for a few days. I use this with the orange cricket food, also here on Amazon. I would say I drop a tablespoon or a two every few days. There is another version of this that is green, and gut loads the dubia (that I feed to my bearded dragons). I do like both versions, though.

Effective hydrogel to keep the crickets going
For reference: We keep our house around 76-77°F year round, and low humidity due to the environment we live in.Pros- the gel stays hydrated quite well. Easy to rehydrate with water every morning allowing us to get a lot of use out of a small amount. I replenish gel every 4-7 days depending on number of crickets (usually 50-75), amount placed in enclosures and temperature.One jar lasts about a month and keeps most of the crickets alive for the geckos to munch on. (Subscribe and Save)Cons- if I try really hard, I still can’t imagine one.Unknown- I keep this in the fridge once opened as I haven’t left a previously opened jar closed up on the counter to see if it goes bad, but a different company’s product was covered in growing mold in less than 3 days when left unrefrigerated, so I’m not ready to risk losing product. If I do try it, I’ll update.I recommend this, and a recommendation from an unknown individual online is basically the best advice you can get.Update: it stores outside the fridge perfectly well.

Kinda weird stuff, but does what it says it will
Works. A great innovation for bug pet owners. Minimal, if any scent to this stuff.Have been using a little spoon to dish it out, the blue stuff clings (it is NOT sticky though) to both sides of the spoon and then your fingers or whatever it touches if you’re not careful.So wish the container/jar was a better design to make using it easier, maybe?But interesting stuff. It does what it says and makes hydration easier, cleaner.

It is what it is!
This looks like green jello for crickets. It has stayed well preserved not in fridge. It does dry out quickly within 48 hours in cricket tank stored next to very warm lizard terrarium lighting if they don’t eat it first but I imagine that they probably shouldn’t be eating after 48 hours anyway? The crickets do seem to eat it although I also supplement with grapes, oranges and potatoes. I have no idea if it is in actuality gutloading crickets with calcium…but I have no reason to think it isn’t. It was excellent value compared to pet store prices. I would buy it again.

Easy and convenient
Love this! So easy to just scoop some water crystals into a little dish and youâre all done! Bugs are loving it.

No thirsty crickets with this bad boy
Tired of your crickets drowning? This is the solution. Even the least mentally developed crickets can handle this and stay hydrated without passing away

Easy to use i just fill a egg cup full and place it in my cricket cage and replace when it dries up. Has made keeping crickets around for my leopard gecko a lot easier and far less loss.

C’est bien, par contre ce produit est porter a sécher et rester en petit cube de gélatine. C’est la première fois que je voix ça…un peu bizarre.
