Feeder's water

[ChamomilleCame]

Hello I know many of you have the Flukers water source for your feeders (yes; the yellow stuff) and my mayor concern is that it has yellow #5 (if I'm not mistaken). Yellow #5 is a known carcinogen for humans. Imagine what it can do to animals! (This is a very common ingredient found in a lot of candy too) So anyway, I was wondering if this affected the cham in any way. And another question: What water do you guys use?

my cham does not eat crickets. But I used to use oranges. They loved them, and it was a good water source.

I take paper towels and soak them in water and put it in a bowl so the crickets can't drown but still drink easily.

I dont know about the yellow stuff... but there are lots of other products to use... I wouldnt take the chance. I just use regular Ol' water crystals and hydrate with Reverse Osmosis filtered water from my RO system

the only way my feeders get water is from there fresh food or nature bites total bites. I stoped giving water crystels after I noticed the buggs eat them and I dont want that in my chams bellyJMO

I use exclusively oranges - not only are they a good source of water, they contain vitamins and minerals too.

You can buy water crystals that are not dyed and hydrate them yourself.

It turns out to be much cheaper, despite the initial cost. I just hydrated 2 tablespoons into a container that cost me $8 when I bought it full of commercially hydrated crystals.

Worm man sells smaller packs for less if you want to try it out.
