escape proof fooddish?

[KarlW]

Hi everyone,

ive been trying to feed my baby bearded dragons some baby dubias (so they cant climb smooth surfaces) but the dragons are still having trouble of them escaping every now and then.

Is there a dish i can use that is smooth enough surfaces that the roaches cant escape, but is not too big for the beardies to be able to eat out of?

Nobody knows any?

Would a mealworm bowl do?

i went and bought a plastic sandwich box and i put my crickets in there for my baby beardie to eat. yes the odd one or two escape, but he always knows where his food is and he seems to enjoy getting in the tub to chase them. hope this helps.
by the way, where did u get your roaches from?

[KarlW]

I breed my own roaches (got the colony from a local reptile store)

hey check our water/food bowls out. bit late but may be of interest.

we used to have the same problem but then we put alittle cod liver oil on the bubias and then sprinkled calcium over them. the little buggers didn't run as fast then lol and if they don't run neither do i lmao

When mine was little I used to use a ceramic dog bowl, theyre big enough for the little guy to get into, and have very smooth sides that most bugs cant climb.

i use stainless steel cat bowls 49p and shiney and smooth so they cant escape works a treat

Last night i tried some baby dubias in the mealworm bowl i bought (dont use it as my beardies dont like mealworms......) and it worked fine. That'll do for now i think, until the roaches im feeding are adult, but by then i expect my beardies to be fast enough to catch them.
