Fluker's cricket feed for mealies?

[caKed]

Anyone ever use fluker's cricket feed for mealies? I just want to know if the mealies like it as much as the crickets do and if its safe and ok to use.

Thanks

nice! I am about to spread a little bit over their bedding and Im gonna see how that goes.

leoman777 - is the yellow stuff your talking about the cricket quencher they make? If so I got some of that too and I might try that out as well.

Thanks for the info

 

[leoman777]

yeah its the quencher stuff

I've been using and recommending it for years. I really like Flukers orange cubes as a water source...I find that its a lot less messy than the gel stuff and lasts much longer too.

 

[leoman777]

yeah im going to switch to the cubes soon because the gel is messy

From what i have heard (and i'm not certain this is correct) when the crickets consume the gel, it can solidify (like if you leave it in there too long, i'm sure you know what i mean) in their stomachs and not pass, then, when the leos eat the crickets, it's possible for the gel/cube solids to be retained much like grains of sand would...anyone hear of this?

In response to leonewbie, I think the exoskeleton of your average feeder insect is much tougher than the watering gel. Plus the digestive system should be able to break it down. I mean, you can feed them dry cat/dog food and that's not an impaction issue.
