Well, first thing is that Fluker stuff is junk. I heard it can kill a beardie by drying up and if the beardie eats the stuff it can expand in the stomach. For water use a piece of squash, oranges, or potatoes. Inside in the (super gut-load tank) use a piece of butternut squash along with some chicken mash. The squash is very good for the beardies, and the crix will eat it and use it for water. The chicken mash can be bought at a feed store. It's called egg layers mash. This stuff is great cause it has vitamins and calcium added to it for the chickens, and cost like 5 bucks for a huge bag full. It's made out of mostly grains. In a pinch some mashed up cherios, or total cereal, fish food and a tiny bit of powdered milk works great for the gutload too. Out side go ahead and use chunks of potatoes or the oranges, and some mash too. Just got to change the fruit/veggies every three days or so, or if the potatoes are still good just reslice the top so the criz get too a fresh part. This will work great and will keep them aliVe for a while. I think the main problem inside was with the moisture. Crix die fast in an enclosure with to much moister and not enough ventilation, and that Gell junk is all moister.
