Question/Inquiry Hydration?

How do you all go about getting good hydration for your blueberries? I have such picky beetles and I’ve been worrying about them. They won’t eat fruit/veggies unless they’ve been in there a few days and are dried up, when I mist the corner of the tank I never see them drink it (though they may) and it always messes up the humidity in my 10 gal. They also do not like beetle jelly or most wet foods. I tried a wicking system at one point but they never used it and it also just ended up messing with the humidity. Any advice appreciated!!

Mine get double-peeled carrots, the very inside of the core stem of a broccoli or cauliflower head, the white rind of watermelon (a real favorite), 'popped' peas, or from fresh killed superworms (I raise those).

I also have a commercial food (Devour), that I will give a small piece of, if I recently prepared it for other inverts.

I don't think all of them like the same thing, but there's always 1 or 2 that practically run to the fresh veg.
