Added Hydration and calcium!... maybe.

[reptilover]

I bought cricket quencher to hydrate My crickets, it seemed to be the most beneficial form of hydration for my crickets. Being its solidified water with calcium.


Since I never see my cham drink much. Though I know he does his poops are great!

Would there be any problem with feeding him peices of cricket quencher directly? I know he'd eat it off tongs. He eats everything else off tongs including peices of veggies.

Warm or cold he knows Theres always a treat at the end of his tongs

not sure, i think how bugs obtain water from wate crystals is different than how chams obtain their source of water.

just to be safe i think you shouldnt do it. fresh veggies like cucumber for veields or even panthersif they are willing is fine if he feeds off tongs.

I am not positive but IMHO I wouldn't try it. My veiled T would never drink in front of me. ( I think he just likes his privacy) So I put a plastic cup what holds about a gallon of water. it drips into the enclosure for about 5 minutes and runs down about 5 differnt leaves before if goes into the pothos I have in there for him and the extra drains out the pot bottom and threw his drainage system to the bucket and I dump it every day, Wash it and put it back in the morning and He seems to enjoy that. I have caught a peek of him drinking this way. just a suggestion. I know you can buy store bought drippers too. but if his poop is normal and he is getting hydrated I wouldn't worry. can you post a picture of him?

That's cute.... and I would set up a dripper if your worried and when you fill it leave the room Mine always chooses when no ones around to drink. some can be shy. Looks good to me though.


Hes very cute and looks good to me.

Thank you he's become the star of my herp room.

I have a dripper but only use it when I'm home due to flooding. I've got a large screen cage but until he grows a little more he uses zoo-med terrarium with screen top and front vent. (with custom computer fan for circulation). So drainage Is a. Temporary battle but I never short on water. Just lots of cleaning! And draining everyday! So I cup feed so they don't drown. It's going good I'm loving It
