Pheonix Worms

[sunshinegeckos]

My Leopard Geckos love Pheonix Worms but they are such climbers! I put them in the worm bowls and I still find a couple that find their way out of the bowl. Any suggestions on how to keep them in the bowl??

Im having the same issue with the Dubia's

I finally found glass bowls that are smooth enough and tall/steep enough to keep them from climbing out.

Try a mealworm dish! (I don't really know why they're marketed for that, because mealworms can be easily kept in other dishes). They're brown bowls with curved sides. I got mine at Petco. Maybe you can google "mealworm dish" and find it. They're great for dubias and phoenix worms. Sometimes crickets even get in them and can't figure out how to get out right away.

If you spread about 1-2" of vaseline around the container they cant climb the walls

Something about having vaseline inside my gex feeder dish doesn't sit right with me. I can understand if you have it in a dubia setup to prevent escapes from the main bin, but inside the actual feeder bowl? Remember, gex lick EVERYTHING
