Mealworm dishes

[biggiy05]

I've got a new baby leopard gecko who is still too small I think to use the normal sized dishes I use for my other three. What does everyone use for their little ones when feeding mealworms?

This is what my adults use

This is what I put in the little ones tank for now. There are more mealworms in there. I just added a few to see if they would be able to get out of it and they are trying to. I've got more in there but once they find that little bit of texture they are going to be on the loose.

I use small plastic petri dishes. They work great.

I use jar lids, but would like to use petri dishes. Where do you get them Paul?

The mealworms can't climb out?

They are less likely to climb out if you put some gutload or a piece of carrot in the dish.

I use the 60 x 15 mm size. The bottoms are deeper than the lids, so I use those for the mealworms. They don't climb out as long as they're not full-size mealworms.

The lids make decent calcium dishes for the adult females.
