Hi
Depends on if u want the feeders to stay in the cup for the duration of if you don't mind them being able to crawl out
In the first instance, you'll find the feeder made from a milk carton ideal. I never had any escape. I see someone has kindly posted my thread on this, thank you
(custom made cricket feeder)
For the latter ( u don't mind feeders escaping to be 'hunted' )which is what I'm using for simbas locusts now, then something like this is ideal as there's somewhere to put the feeders, there's adequate drainage and its shallow enough for feeders to eventually climb out and be hunted down lol I also think its more appealing to the eye
I'm hand feeding the worms as the holes in the mesh are too big for them to go in the bowl. Getting simba used to more attention and contact now he's in his new enclosure. Working gr8 so far
U could use finer mesh tho to prevent worms falling out the bottom.
Hope that helps

Nice. Thanks for the pics. I want to be able to contain them. They have a tendency to escape and roam the house which doesn't go down well with the misses lol
But I didn't really want some ugly milk carton hanging
I like to keep things like they should belong there if you know what I mean
