Feeding cups

[Amanda1801]

OK, so I'm starting to get bits together for Colin's new vivarium...

What do you guys use for feeding cups? I'm hoping to maybe get 2 or 3 in his new viv and use it as a way of enrichment for him to wander around and check them out and see which one(s) have food in and stuff.

What I was thinking so far, was getting some green plastic beakers (thinking that they'd be steep sided enough to stop insects escaping!) with a bit of a lip on, and attaching them to branches and such with wire...

Does anyone do this? What else do you guys use, and do you have any photos?

Thanks,

Amanda

Hey amanda your idea sounds sweet, im getting another feeder cup soon in the mail. its actually a bird feeder haha, i saw it and was like that would be an awesome feeder cup. its stainless steel and it comes with a ring and a cup, you can attach the ring to your cage and then put the cup in the ring and then take the cup out when you have to add more feeders in. What i use right now though is:

one of those, i made one for my dibuas. Ive tried to use crickets in it but they are better climbers than dubias so manage to get out somehow. So i just free range the crickets so that if my little girl wants to hunt she can go after some crickets but if shes lazy she can use the cup.

I just wanna do the best for my little dude He deserves it after the crap life hes had so far.

I was thinking of something like this for fresh veg and such (if he will EVER eat it!)
