So we seem to be having an issue.
Feeding option #1 -- small white ceramic with a lip designed to keep insects in. Donovan did okay with it, but the dubia roaches kept climbing on top of one another and getting out.

Feeding option #2 -- I tried using feeding tongs. But he bumped his nose on them and now doesn't want to eat that way.
Feeding option #3 -- Anchor glass bowl, 8 oz. Approx. 2 inches deep. The dubia can't escape it, but Donovan saw the bugs and didn't realize about the glass. So then he just sat and stared at the bowl.

Feeding option #4 -- shallow stoneware bowl. maybe 1.25 deep with sloped sides. almost 6 inches in diameter so it's taking up a lot of space. Stupid roaches got out of it. Donovan chased down and grabbed one. But he's been ignoring the rest of the escapees.

He doesn't want to have anything to do with me other than peeking at me from his humid hide. I know, it's only been a week and a half and it takes time.
I've got to find a solidly functional way of feeding him so I can keep track of what he's eating. And now he has me worried because he only ate like 3 roaches tonight (well, and one for a morning snack this morning).
I'm open to any suggestions
