Im looking for Lees mealworm dishes for cheap and cant really find any. I dont want to play no more the $2.00 if possible. Anyone have any websites that are reliable to them buy from? Or any good reliable bulk stores to order from?

Mealworms are great in that dish! (the one above that robin pointed out) Superworms.. well.. if your geckos step on the dishes... they are sure to get out..

But anyways cheap and resuable! And mostly escape proof!

I took the tops off with young ones and the mealworms still didn't get out and they seem to find the worms. I think I put the tops on when they weighed about 10 gm so they were a bit bigger.. and they seem to all be doing fine. :)

Im not sure if they work but I seen that Maurice from Sunrise Reptile used them and was wondering if they were good. I did use bottom of water bottles for awhile and curved the sides in so the mealworms cant get out but the down side is they are very very light and the geckos tip them over with ease now.

I use basically the same dish but I get them through the bean farm, they're a bit cheaper(0.28) And you can buy 50-100 counts for 13 bucks or so. They work great for adults though I'd agree on removing the tops for hatchlings.

can you use them with young geckos?

We use these dishes with ALL hatchlings.
We put dubia nymphs in them at first.

The ONLY way worms escape out of them is if you put too many in there and they climb onto each other, OR if the geckos dumps the dish (like my albinos like to do).

I reuse mine.

My only problem with them is: they're big for a dish and some of my hatchlings like to poo in them.
Which then wastes good feeders.

I swear on my life I must be the only person with potty trained geckos.
