    Thanks Amy,

    I do change water and food in crickets cages daily and clean the the whole cage weekly.

    It is not the crickets I am worried about getting dehydrated, I am worried about the frogs ingesting dry jell that would pull moisture from the frog.

    I meant that the gels have never had time to dehydrate completely, to stick to a cricket, to get eaten by a frog.

    Oh, OK.

    I have severl breeding colonies now and they go through the jells pretty quick, and pieces end up next to the dish on paper towel and dry up pretty quickly especially since there are heating pads under the containers. I tried sponges and they dry up even quicker, and, newly hatched crickets like to use the holes in the sponge to hide when it is nearly dry)
