bowl size

[James Lamantia]

Has anyone found good disposable bowls for hatchling's. I use to get some great low profile dishes but ether the company went under or just stopped producing them. They where about 3-4 inches across and maybe 1/2 inch high with a lid that had a hole in the center. These where great because you could use them for food or water and nothing got out and water wouldn't tip over. I found some other ones that are larger around and about 1 inch tall. I have seen better results with the smaller containers when it comes to the babies. So what are all of you guys using? Need to get them is bulk if possible.

thanks

Do you mean strictly for food or water use? I purchased glass ashtrays from the dollar tree. They are 4 or 5 inches across, but the edges are flared, so the babies can get to the food easy enough but it's still tall enough that the mealworms can't climb out.
I've also been using metal jar lids, like the size from a jar of olives or something, for water.

For the first week or two I've been dropping mealworms one at a time in front of the gecko. That way I can know exactly how many they are eating, too! Then I switch to the ashtrays which have been taken to quickly.
