Escape-proof superworm dish

[Jaiden23]

Hello all, I just have a quick question regarding superworm dishes.

In the past, we've always fed mealworms, crickets and phoenix worms. One of our newly acquired adults, however, was fed superworms by the breeder and just isn't interested in the smaller, less active mealworms so we ordered a load of supers for her.

For our mealies, we've been using this dish...

and it works great... for mealworms. Our supers can easily escape by reaching up and grabbing the rim and pulling themselves up and over.

So, I'm wondering, will these larger versions of that same dish work for superworms?

Do any of you have experience with the larger dishes and superworms? Or perhaps you know of a different dish that works? We really prefer to dish feed if it's possible, and I absolutely do not want supers loose in her tank after all of the stories of leos getting bitten by them. I know plenty of breeders use superworms as staples, and I thought this was the type of dish that they used so I was shocked when I saw ours escaping.

Darn ninja-worms

Ya my supers always escape from the small ones. The larger ones have been great for me. I've only had 3 or 4 ever get out since i started using them this month. That is great compared to the 50 percent escape rate with the smaller ones.

Thank you, Russell. I'm glad to hear that the bigger dishes work pretty well, I'll go ahead and order some. I can live with an occasional escapee, anything is better than just sitting here watching them all climb out :main_thumbsup:

Trust me, I know the feeling. And I'm sure the geckos do not appreciate having supers crawl around all the time when they are trying to sleep.

any word on how the large one works with keeping supers in?

I have curved bowls i got from 99 cent store that are taller and curved but some still managed to get out so I think the large ones wont work 100% either.
