Hello! I have a quick question about the gutload that I am using. It it the repashy bug burger powder in a bag. The instructions call for mixing it with boili g water and then letting it sit out to harden. I have been having trouble keeping it fresh so I was wondering if it would be of the same benefit if I just dumped the powder In the cricket enclosure? If not are there any other gutloading products that don't have to be prepared?

I use the same thing but mine says to mix 1/4 bug burger powder and 3/4 cup of water into a microwavable dish and microwave it till it boils(2 to 3 minutes). Then remove and stir and let it sit until its cool then whatever you don't use at that moment is to be put in the fridge. I don't seem to have a problem with it and if you use those measurements like mine says too its good for a month.

mix up only what you will need within a few days, and keep in the fridge.
there are many many things you can use as gutload:

It keeps for several days in the fridge.
I make 2 1/2 cups at a time.
2 cups of water in a sauce (I don't nuke it) and 1/2 heaping cup of bug
burger powder.
Stir the powder in, and bring to boil, keep stirring.
Pour into a food container with a tight lid, and store in the fridge.
