Water crystals solve the oldest problem in feeder keeping: insects drown in open water. This non-toxic polymer gel holds water in a form crickets, roaches, mealworms and beetles can drink from safely — no dish, no drownings, no soggy substrate.
Why gel beats a water bowl
- Drown-free — the single biggest cause of cricket die-off, eliminated
- Keeps the bin dry — no spills means no mould and no ammonia smell
- Lasts for days per serving, unlike vegetable slices that rot overnight
How to use
Place a shallow layer of hydrated crystals in a lid or dish inside the colony. Replace as it shrinks or discolours. Pair with Roach/Cricket Chow or wheat bran for a complete setup.
Works with
Crickets, dubia, lobster roaches, mealworms and superworms — see our cricket care guide for the full setup.
