While for
pellet and vegetable foods, a normal reptile feeding dish is fine, when it comes
to live-foods like mealworms you might want to consider something like the Exo
Terra Worm Dish - Mealworm Feeder.
Live
mealworms (just how your reptile likes them) wriggle around a lot, and in a
normal feeding dish which is shallow and with no pronounced lip around the
edge, mealworms are likely to be able to escape.
This means
that when they are out of the dish, they will mix with the substrate, possibly
dying in there leading to potential health problems for your reptile. Further
to that, the fact they are on the floor will likely not deter your reptile from
eating them, causing them to ingest substrate in the process. For animals like
bearded dragons, this can cause big problems such as impaction, where the
substrate blocks their digestive tract, causing pain, trips to the vets, and in
the worst cases - death.
The Exo Terra
Worm Fish - Mealworm Feeder prevents these problems, providing a clean feeding
area that due to a high-lip will remain substrate-free, retain all the
mealworms by preventing them for wriggling out, while allowing your reptile
full access to their tasty worms - perfect!
