any one know how to make water crystals for feeder insects???

[Matt Fisher]

any one know how to make them or know of a link on how to make them. i am tired of paying for water. i know someone has to know how to make it.

 

[Jorsher]

water crystals? what are those? sorry

 

[Matt Fisher]

they are little water gel crystals that you feed crickets and other feder animals so you dont have to provide a water dish.

 

[bio teacher]

You want to provide a water dish because that is how you keep the humidity levels up in your enclosure.

i am not talking about the spiders. i am talking about the water crystals you feed to crickets. i order 3000 crickets at a time when i order them as i have a ton of geckos and lizzards that eat them. and there is a water gel that you can keep inthe cage with them so you dont have to have a dish that most will drown in

Alot of people get them from http://www.watersorb.com/index.html .The only thing is you have to buy something like 2 lbs but it will last you forever.

This is one of the products I have used with no problems. put a couple of tablespoons of dry product per gallon of water and give it a couple hours and there you go.

I think it might be a little difficult to do

Water Crystals are super absorbent polymers in the form of white granules. They sometimes are referred to as hydro gels, polymer crystals, or water gels.

Most well stocked florists have this available.
Also, the larger hobby stores usually carry it.
Florists use it in potted plants to help keep the soil moist, but not soggy..

I think it will cost more to make, than it will to buy, though.

That's "Elvira"...our G.pulchra girlie.
She's a real sweetheart. We love her....lol
Thanks!

 

[Matt Fisher]

are they for the most part nice and docile.

 

[Rochelle]

Yes, I believe they are.
If you poll other G.pulchra owners, I think you'll find it's true.
I feel bad for hijacking this poor fella's thread, tho.

 

[Matt Fisher]

dont worry i started the thread. LOL

ROFLOL....

Oh.

Well, then yes! Grammostola's are way nicer than Brachys IMO.
Temperament wise, I mean.
They get bigger generally and have sweeter dispositions.
We have many Brachy's and don't handle a single one of them.
ALL of our Grammies are handleable.
