Super worm bowl

murphy2747 · Sep 1, 2014

Right now I'm using super worms as my staple diet for my leopard gecko. When I put them in the bowl, they escape in seconds. Does anyone know of a bowl that supers can't get out of? I saw this bowl, but I'm thinking she won't be able to see the worms inside.

I made a ceramic superworm dish that had curved sides. They still escaped. When I feed my geckos super worms, I just drop the worms one at a time in front of them and let them eat them.

I'll put a bit of food in my ceramic dish with them, so they are encouraged to stay there and eat some yummy whatever. And then if one or two still escape it's no big deal, the gecko will just hunt them down after he's eaten everyone in the bowl. Some thing sweet seems to keep their interest even if they've been gutloaded, so something like peaches, etc.

I would never let them escape and wander the enclosure. Those things can bite.

I hope this works for you... I think it is impossible to keep super worms in a dish. Aliza's idea is good. I already gave up of the dish and just put the worms in the enclosure... It seems they like to hide under paper towels though... I have no problems with worms attacking geckos however I always remove leftover worms next day.
