Nobbys I was going to comment that they remind me of the stuff you put in plant and flower pots to keep them hydrated through winter! I bet if you look up the ingredients they are exactly the same thing...What would ever possess a company to say "Hey, what a great idea, let's market this stuff to keep live feeder insects for pet reptiles hydrated! They'll probably digest them...?"...
exactly same stuff .... I checked years ago when I thinking of using water crystals to hydrate my crickets , immediately changed my mind when I looked up the msds.
The warning on the bottle - keep out of reach of children was the first red flag (for me).
I gave him a nice warm bath just a few minutes ago, he did go while in bath but it looked broken up pieces, like diarrhea? or something? I am hoping that it passed through. He usually goes once a day so I'm glad to see he went. I gave him plenty of veggies which he ate a bunch of today so im guessing that the fiber in the veggies made him go. If he did have impaction or intestinal blockage he wouldn't of gone to the bathroom?
I know right? :lol:
He did go poo again today this morning so that's good. His behavior seems to be normal, basking and walking around, head raised and alert. Is there a natural beardie detox they can do? Would like to start over on a clean fresh slate if possible. Never again will use those nasty water gels, Yuck! I saw they were sticky and im like great so if one of the feeders defecate on it it would be stuck to it. Wonderful. :roll:
We've seen the effect of JUST ONE accidentially ingested , now imagine the effects of even a 3 or 4 , or if some dope gave them to their pet lizard thinking they were OK for hydration .... :shock: ( I don't think it would end so well , or cheaply if the lizard survived ).
Nope not at all and definitely throwing those water crystals out. I sent the company an email and no response. I doubt they will ever get back to me as they really don't want to open a can of worms :/
