i put 100% apple juice in my beardie pellets that i give the roaches and they flock to it the second i throw it down i know its not water crystals but they do drink apple juice and don't die.

I have heard of people doing this as opposed to using straight water before. Interestingly enough, I tried hydrating them with beer once to see if I could get some crickets drunk. :lol: I'm gonna have to try that one again sometime. heh

Anyways, as with the beer you will have a problem with mold and bacteria developing quite rapidly as opposed to crystals hydrated with straight water. Not sure how long they would last at room temperature before needing to be replaced, but I would say 2 days maximum. Maybe you could do a few and offer them as a treat and make sure to remove any uneaten ones after a day.

Second Patrick's comment, mold will be a serious hazard if they are not replaced often. To be completely honest, I don't see the benefits of using juice, especially when it would be more beneficial to just give them a slice of apple.

It would work however, and I am sure the bugs would love it!
