There is also a product out there from Nature Zone (in Paradise, CA...<naturezone.fauna.com>) called "Cricket Total Bites" which feeds, waters, gutloads crickets in one easy step which I use to supplement my regular cricket routine. These green chunks are the consistency of Jello "Jigglers" (finger jello).
I don't use water "dishes" in my cricket cages...just a layer of paper towels over the double layer of egg cartons which I spray about every two days. I have had much success with the paper towel method in the cricket cages...I imagine you could use the paper towel method to provide moisture for the insects in your regular tanks. Crickets don't seem to need much moisture. My plan is for the crickets I feed to critters to be consumed quickly and for them not to be hangin' around to "bug" the geckos.

I have been using Fluker's Cricket Quencher, which is a gel-like substance
in chunks. The label says it also is calcium fortified and no other water
source is needed. However, I am a novice, not really qualified to give
advice, so I'd like to hear others recommendations on using this.
