I’m sure the crystals will be fine, however when I opened the box I noticed it was wet on the corner. I thought it was odd but didn’t really think much else till I opened the box and found the bag of water crystals had opened during transport. Not sure why the bag wasn’t sealed but I can say that it did open and I lost probably a third of the bag. It was a real mess. That’s why the 3 stars

Will be purchasing again and again!

This is my second purchase and I will continue to purchase from them! The roaches ALWAYS arrive on time and most all of them (98%) arrive alive. The roaches love both the feeder food and the bug chug. I will continue to buy from this store. 100% recommend!

Roach Fighting

Works great but why is it that whenever I use these, some of the roaches start to kill eachother? Could they be fighting over the water?

Bug chug does the job!

Our dubia roaches gobbled (drank?) it right up. Made them happily hydrated little critters.

Bug Chug

Works well and is not messy, my dubia colony completely uses up the gel by the time I need to add more and it’s mess free.

Ok for roaches only

This seems ok for roaches but seems to kill Crickets and turns all the feeder insects either bluer greener or paler. Crickets seem to die. The scent isn’t good either. The orange kind seems better. The orange version is more expensive but hasn’t seemed to kill my insects.

Good purchase

Hard to tell if the roaches liked the crystals, but they lived for a while, so I'll give credit to the product.

HOW TO USE BUG CHUG WATER CRYSTALS FOR DUBIA ROACHES

Directions: Scoop a small amount in a shallow feeder dish. Refill as necessary. Reseal the Bug Chug bag and store in a cool, dry place.

WHAT ARE INSECT WATER CRYSTALS?

Have you ever made Jell-O? Water crystals, or polymer crystals, act kind of like that, expanding into a gel as they absorb moisture.

Polymer crystals:

  • Are comprised of a long line of repeating molecules
  • Turn to gel as they absorb moisture
  • Can absorb hundreds of times their weight in moisture

This is why they are a great source of hydration for insects. As a gel, they can’t cause your feeders to drown. They are natural, long-lasting, and effective at getting the job done. Besides hydrating insects, polymer crystals are used in garden soil, disposable diapers, and at florist shops to keep flowers fresh longer.

DO DUBIA ROACHES NEED WATER?

If you’ve got a reptile with a healthy appetite, chances are, you’re ordering feeder insects a lot (or you have a subscription). So you need to keep those feeders alive long enough for your dragon to eat them. Water helps with that, and it keeps your roaches healthy and nutritious. It can prevent health problems such as protein overload or physiological stress.

But giving the bugs a water dish? That’s not really an option. Roaches, crickets, and other feeders easily drown.

Dealing with a sponge or complex watering system can become tedious and unsanitary. Our Bug Chug doesn’t even require you to mix or measure anything. Just open, place a scoop in a dish, and you’re done. Your roaches will thank you.. But your reptile will thank you more. (Yum!)
