What is a water wiggler?

[Pick-a-LilyFarm]

Could someone please tell me what a water wiggler is...and how to use it? Do I make one? I feel foolish not knowing what everyone is talking about when they mention water wiggler. I have a still air LG w/egg turner and it didn't come with a wiggler. How can I get one or make one easy enough. Thanks!

yeah. it is a toy sold a dallor tree and you put your probe in the middle of it. you can make one out of a ziplock bag and water. just wrap the bag around the probe and tape or ziptie it together.

I believe that it is supposed to be like a "fake egg" and give readings of what the temps are like inside the real egg.

I saw one made of an egg somewhere...a lady took a real egg, and filled it with hair gel, stuck the probe inside & sealed it with wax. She put it in the turner with her real eggs so she'd have temp readings as close as possible to the temps of the eggs.

It's a cheap dollar kiddie toy. Used with a probe thermomoter to measure egg's inside temp.
