Moisture pellets<\/strong> – Some animals have benefits for feeding pellets, and when you make them wet, the pellets are easier to eat and provide hydration to the animal. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nNot all bugs are eager drinkers: snails, beetles, moths and caterpillars are know that they get most to all of their water from their food. Drinking requirements can hugely differ between species, so always check for the specific species what their drinking needs are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With some species, newborn nymphs may need instant access to water to survive. They can quickly dehydrate what may result in death. This need for water is, for example, the case with dubia roaches nymphs. So when you have your eggs and nymphs housed separately, you’ll need to provide drinking options as well adjusted for the species. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should also consider the quality of tap water. Not every country have good quality tap water, and even if it is suitable for humans, it may not be ideal for bugs. In these cases, bottled water is preferred over tap water. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
