What is a water wiggler?

[KSANDERS1]

I read how Miss Prissy made her incubator. One of the things she used is a water wiggler. What is it? What incubator function does it perform? Does anyone know where I can get one?

I'm interested in knowing as well.

I think it would be great if someone with a wiggler would post a pic of it.

Thanks.. So if you use one of these you do not need to add water? Or is this used just to check temperatures?

Ok. I understand what it is and what it does. I'm waiting on an answer for your question, though, Dilly.

I'm interested too! LOL I've been wondering what those are for.

You stick a sensor from a thermometer into it (I just used a regular digital baby thermometer... but I have to actually push the button to get a reading.. the sensors would have been nice

) and it gives you an idea of the internal temp of the eggs, since they are liquid inside.
