Can you give Dubias?

I have crosslinked polyacrimide water crystals, this is the brand that I found here in Canada, and once again it was difficult to track down:
http://www.soilmoist.com/, but I am wondering if there was any reason why I could not also use Fluker's cricket quencher with calcium. I think I read somewhere that I couldn't. Does anyone know?

There was an article on it but essentially if the feeders are on too much calcium it can cause your beardies joints to be negatively effected. Also, when crickets want to drink they may be ingesting too much calcium for their own tolerance and can overdose and die sooner. If anyone else can remember where that article on 2-in-1 feeder foods is then that would be a good thing to read through.

thanks, it has not been a problem for the crickets, so far, so I will use it up, and then continue to use the other stuff.

To much calcium will kill Dubias. In my opinion get the water crystals. They last for ever. I have a 12oz bag and have hardly made a dent in it. Just make sure there is no plant food/fertalizer in those water crystals on that site

Thanks, there is nothing in those water crystals at all, they ask that you use them in your existing plant pots and add it to the nutrient enriched soil, so they are plain, and that is what I have been currently using.
